GROUNDED IN STRUCTURED LITERACY

Where children
build writing confidence
step by step.

Children trace letters, drag sounds into spelling boxes, learn grammar, build sentences, and write by hand, all with gentle, step-by-step feedback that meets them where they are.

Handwriting that's Actually Taught

Letter Lab guides children stroke by stroke with a clear "I Do, We Do, You Do" structure. Three-zone lined paper shows exactly where each letter sits, and every stroke is modelled before the child tries it themselves.

Stroke-by-stroke modelling so children learn correct letter formation, not just recognition
"I Do, We Do, You Do" scaffolding grounded in evidence-based teaching
Gentle, encouraging feedback that keeps children confident and wanting to try again
Word Lab: drag phonemes into spelling boxes

Spelling, One Sound at a Time

In Word Lab, children break words into their sounds and drag each phoneme into place. They learn that spelling isn't memorising letters. It's knowing which sound goes where, and which pattern spells it.

Drag-and-drop phoneme tiles that make sound-to-letter mapping visible
Lessons that build through sounds, spelling patterns, and word meaning
Grounded in systematic phonics, the same approach used in evidence-based classrooms

Grammar That Finally Clicks

In Grammar Lab, children sort words into parts of speech, spot patterns in real sentences, and fix run-ons themselves. Grammar stops being rules to memorise and becomes something they can see, move, and understand.

Drag words into parts of speech to make sentence structure visible
Spot and fix run-ons and errors, building real editing skills
Learn sentence types step by step, grounded in explicit grammar teaching
Sentence Builder: choosing word cards to complete a Who, What, Where sentence

Sentences That Grow

In Sentence Builder, children start with a simple sentence and drag word cards to make it longer and more interesting, adding describing words, joining ideas, and building real expression, one card at a time.

Drag-and-drop word cards that turn a plain sentence into a vivid one
Add adjectives, adverbs, and conjunctions to build expression
Scaffolded from modelled examples to independent writing

From Spoken Idea to Written Word

In Writing Studio, children speak their idea out loud to capture it, then focus on writing it by hand, watching each letter formed, tracing it, then writing it themselves, so ideas and handwriting grow together.

Speak an idea aloud so getting started never blocks the writing
Letter-by-letter handwriting feedback as they write by hand
Gradual release from modelled to independent composition
Listen & Write: hearing a word and writing it by hand on three-zone lined paper

Listen, Then Write

In Listen & Write, children hear a word or sentence and write it by hand, just like dictation. Our app reads their handwriting and checks they've written the correct letter, so they know straight away and can try again.

One Clear Picture of Progress

Start with a clear summary, then dig as deep as you like. Beyond the at-a-glance overview, every module has its own detailed report, so you can see exactly how your child is doing in handwriting, spelling, grammar, sentences, and more. The same view at home and in the classroom keeps everyone speaking the same language.
