The learning path: sixteen stages, each with lessons, games and a story

📍 One Clear Next Thing

Sixteen stages take your child from the alphabet to reading whole sentences. Each stage mixes lessons, games and a story, then ends with a short checkpoint so you can see the learning has stuck. Nothing is timed, nothing is ever lost, and a checkpoint that does not go well can be tried again straight away.

16 Stages Checkpoints No Fail States
A digraph lesson: the letters sh, the word ship, and a sentence to hear

🔊 Every Sound, Read Aloud

Every letter and letter team gets its own screen: the sound, a word that uses it, a picture, and a sentence. Your child taps to hear any of them as often as they like. One idea per screen, with nothing else competing for their attention.

The story shelf: sixty levelled stories grouped by phonics level

📚 Sixty Stories, Six Levels

The shelf grows with your child. Levels run from three-word pages up to proper little tales, and a story only appears once the sounds inside it have been taught. The first three are free, so you can hear the difference before paying anything.

A story page: the sentence with the decodable words highlighted

📖 They Read It Themselves

Every story is decodable, which means it only uses sounds and words your child has already met on the path. That is the difference between reciting a book from memory and really reading it. A warm human voice reads each page aloud, and a few friendly questions afterwards check it all went in.

The Spell It game: a picture of a cat above empty tiles and letter choices

🔤 Spell the Word You Hear

A picture, the sound, and a handful of letter tiles. Your child taps them into place to build the word. After two tries the game quietly removes a wrong option, so nobody gets stuck and every round ends with a word they spelled themselves.

The Flip and Build game: a spinning wheel of letters attached to the -at ending

🔄 Build Whole Word Families

Spin a letter onto a word ending and hear what it makes. Cat, bat, hat, rat, and suddenly a whole family of words is built from one pattern. This is how phonics actually sticks: not one word at a time, but the pattern underneath them.

The Letter Tracing game: the letter d with dotted stroke guides

✏️ Letter Tracing, Proper Strokes

Follow the dots to write each letter the way it is taught in school, starting in the right place and moving in the right direction. All 26 letters, as many times as your child wants, with no mess to clear up afterwards.

🏆 Something to Come Back For, and Something for You

Stars for every lesson, badges for streaks and stickers for milestones, so your child can see how far they have come. Behind a parental gate, a grown-up area shows which sounds they are finding tricky rather than just how many stars they have, and lets you open the whole path, set the difficulty, switch on a dyslexia-friendly typeface, and save a backup of everything they have earned.
