The day reading clicks is closer than you think

The step-by-step phonics method that turns letters into sounds, sounds into words, and kids into readers.

What actually arrives

It’s not another app on the tablet

Every month, real books, workbooks and stickers come to your door, matched to the app lessons they’re working on.

1

Storybooks built on letter-sound lessons

Your child reads them by decoding, not by guessing from the picture.

2

Workbooks with a pencil, not a screen

Tracing, writing letters, and activities are what makes the sounds stick.

3

The app, for learning and practicing

Games and songs that teach one sound at a time and don’t move on until it lands.

4

Tonight’s lesson, already chosen

You never have to invent a lesson at seven o’clock. It tells you what’s next.

Get Started

Start where your family is

Three different journeys. One proven method.
