Game-based
learning works
The best way to learn to read is through a process called systematic synthetic phonics. In other words, kids should learn the sounds that go with each letter/spelling in a logical progression. As with most new things, repetition is the key to success. The only problem is, repetition can get boring. And when kids aren’t engaged, they don’t learn.
This is where Mrs Wordsmith comes in. We make learning ridiculously fun (pun intended) by designing reading games for maximum entertainment and educational value.
Follow our wacky cast of characters through animated stories
There's a good reason Readiculous reminds you of your favorite cartoons. The game's hilarious characters were designed by none other than Craig Kellman, the character designer for Madagascar and Hotel Transylvania. When we say it's not just a learn-to-read app, we mean it.
Play to learn,

Unleash the fun of phonics with a game that kids can't resist! It may look like fun and games, but this app will help your kids master important phonics skills and spark a lifelong passion for language and learning. We've developed Readiculous using the Science of Reading to make sure it is as effective as it is fun.

Discover the mini-Games included
Ready, Set, Alphabet!
Meet each letter, in all its uppercase and lowercase glory, and listen to how it sounds. You'll know the alphabet in no time with this friendly introduction.
ABC Dinner
Practice target sounds by feeding Bogart the hungry maggot! Watch out... he’ll eat anything as long as it starts with the right sound.
Pop!
Burst bubbles to reinforce knowledge of target sounds! With each pop, you'll hear the sound or words beginning with that sound. Brace yourself for some serious giggling as the characters make silly faces with each pop!
Build a Word
Roll up your sleeves to do some segmenting (breaking words apart) and blending (putting them back together) in this drag-and-drop game. Unlock a hilarious new animation with each correct answer!
Hear it! Say it!
Your turn! Pronounce new phonemes (sounds) out loud to get feedback via speech recognition*.
*Data is not recorded or stored. The input will only be used to assess responses given.
Sight and Seek
Some words can’t be easily decoded or sounded out. These are called high-frequency words or sight words. Learn to spot and read these words quickly with this mysterious matching grid. Who's hiding underneath?
Word Party
Take high-frequency word recognition one step further with this minigame. Listen to the word and pop the matching balloon, adding auditory recognition to your reading toolkit!
Sound Snap!
Our best-selling Blah Blah Blah Phonics Card Game in digital format! Beat the character to match the letters and sounds. This game offers yet another way to practice target sounds – think Crazy Eights, but with more phonics skills (and less shuffling).
WhatsYap
You've tackled letters. You've mastered sounds. Now, it's time to conquer words in this minigame! Build your confidence by reading short sentences while chatting with one of our loveable characters.
