Curriculum-aligned: built from real UK National Curriculum Geography topics, not a generic wordlist.

Research-backed: readers need to know around 98% of the words in a text to understand it (Carver, 1994; Nation, 2006) — so we teach the words deliberately.

Character-led engagement: hilarious illustrations and Mrs Wordsmith’s cast keep children interested and help new words stick.

Teacher-ready from day one: fully structured lesson plans, no adapting required.
