A lot of learning apps are
just video games in disguise

No Distractions
A clean interface that keeps your child focused on the sounds and words.
Expert Guided
Step-by-step audio and video guidance from a real UK phonics specialist.
Short sessions
We don't want our kids on screens all day either! Five mins a day is all you need.
Master every sound in the English language.
Learn the building blocks that will let you sound out virtually any English word. We'll guide you gracefully through all the 44 sounds, their most common spellings, and over 500 practice words.
Prepare for the UK Phonics Screening.
You will find all of the sounds that could appear in the check, plus alien words to practise in each section.
🏆 We've already won some awards 🥇
"We loved The Phonics App, as it has been specifically designed NOT to be addictive, and doesn't rely on dopamine hits for kids' rewards."
Built by a Dad.
Perfected by an Expert
When Jonny was teaching his daughter to read, all the apps he found were distracting and gamified.
His daughter loved playing them - but didn't learn any sounds.
So he decided to build a much, much simpler app - and she started to learn much quicker.
He sent the app to phonics expert Miss Mabel who immediately saw its potential.
They decided to work together to make The Phonics App

My daughter has been really struggling with her digraphs and I was lost in how to teach her. This app is brilliant and helped us both so much!

Demystifies phonics for mums wanting to help their children through school and is also a good aid for homeschoolers.

"Brilliant, Simple To Use"
It breaks down the process of learning to read into manageable, bite-sized chunks, which makes it fun for parent and child. 10/10

"Amazing app to teach littles!"
So easy for my child to operate themselves and Miss Mabel's voiceover is so helpful. It's simply designed so it's not overstimulating.
