Try the sounds yourself
Tap a tile to hear the real phoneme — the same sound-first approach UK schools use, starting with the first 6 letters every programme teaches.
Hear → Blend → Read
The same 3-step method behind every sound, game, and printable on this site.
- 1
Hear
Each tile plays the pure phoneme — /a/ as in ant, not the letter name.
- 2
Blend
Sounds combine into words: c-a-t → cat. Mini-games drill both directions.
- 3
Read
Decodable words unlock as your child masters their building blocks.

Parent FAQ
- Ages 2–6. Big tap targets, no reading required to navigate, no time pressure. The Speak-With-Me scenes stretch through age 7 for emerging readers.
- Yes. Sound tiles, songs, mini-games, traces, and the starter podcast episode all work offline. Extra podcast episodes stream when online.
- No ads inside the kid-facing surfaces. Everything outside (store links, parent settings) sits behind a parent gate so children can't tap out by accident.
- English has ~44 phonemes. We teach 26 single letters plus 17 common digraph/trigraph sounds (sh, ch, ai, oa, air, ear, ure, …) so a child can decode real words, not just letter names.
