01
Say it
Words and chunks appear in the game. Kids read them out loud, and the game listens through the mic.
Now live · Ground Control
Rebuild the signal, one sound at a time.
Decode broken alien transmissions: blend the sounds back into the word, then say it out loud to send it home.
The suite
One playful universe. A world for every reader.
Each game is its own world with its own reading skill, from first words to multisyllabic decoding. Ground Control is live today, the Phoneme Gym demo is open to play, and the Blending Drill and Star Sailor are blasting off soon.
Launching soon · Beat Bot Band

The loop
Say it. Score it. Level up.
Every game runs the same three beats: fast enough to stay fun, real enough to build actual reading skill. That's structured literacy, hidden in a game.
02
Score it
Every read is scored for sounds, flow, and accuracy. Instant, encouraging feedback, never a red X.
03
Level up
Kids see their own growth and keep going, while the next word adapts to how they're reading.
Then it loops, every word, every game.
For programs & families
A game they love, growth you can see
Behind the asteroids and lasers is real structured-literacy practice, and progress you can actually follow, whether you're a parent at home or a coordinator reporting to your funders.
