How it works
Ninety seconds to set up.
Four minutes to your first book.
No account to make first, no card, and nothing to read before you start. This is the whole of it, in order.
Four minutes, in order
- 01
Their name, their age, the sounds they know
Three taps. If you are not sure which sounds, tell us the school’s program and the set follows it — or run a sixty-second Sound Check and we work it out.
- 02
What they are into, and who is in the house
Eighty-four things to pick from, and the Cast: the dog by name, Nan up the road, the toy that goes everywhere. This is the real grid from the app — have a play with it.
5 pickedNothing here is saved. There is no account on this site and nowhere for it to go — this grid is running entirely in your browser.

Tap Surprise Us
About thirty seconds. People watch this happen, which is why it is an animation and not a spinner — underneath it every word is being checked against the sounds your child has actually been taught.
- 04
Read it together
Paper, Andika, Australian voice, sound off until you ask for it. Tap any word to hear it sounded out and then said whole.
If one word fails, the whole book is binned.
Not a sample of the words. Every one, every time. A word we cannot resolve with certainty is a failure, never a maybe.
Sid sat in the pit. Every word inside the set.
Sid found a shell. found and shell are not taught yet.
So that story never existed. Another was written, checked, and served instead — silently, before anybody saw it.
The parent side
Gamified for you. Never for them.
Everything that looks like progress lives on the parent’s side of the app. The child gets a story. You get to see it working.
A periodic table crossed with a sticker album, and the diary line every parent forgets on Thursday night — title, date, minutes, signature.
Sounds Learnt
The home reading diary, filled in
No streaks.
A gap is just a busy week. Nothing in this app has ever told a parent they’re failing, and nothing ever will.
