Read, find and spell high-frequency words.

Practice options and learner profiles.

01

Read, find, and spell

Read a glowing word, listen and find its match, or study a word before spelling it from memory. Three ways to revisit the same learning.

02

Dolch and Fry word lists

Choose from Dolch levels and nouns or ten Fry groups. Consistent word hues bring a familiar visual cue to repeated practice.

03

Optional audio and voice answers

Hear a word on request. Grown-ups can enable on-device voice answers and optional narration in Settings. Voice starts off.

04

Individual practice and progress records

Separate student profiles, private achievements, and progress views help adults notice practice over time. Self-checks are kept separate from checked accuracy.

Display and input settings.

Five visual themes. Left- and right-handed controls. Portrait and landscape layouts. Gentle feedback, with untimed practice as the default. The iPhone and iPad apps keep student learning on the device and contain no advertising or analytics SDK.

Practice modes

Read, find and spell words.

A word can become familiar through different kinds of attention. Read it, find it, and spell it—then look for it again in a book or everyday conversation.

National grade 4 reading results, with each official source and year, are compiled on Early learning statistics.
