🔒 Parent PIN
Asked for before signing out, resetting progress or deleting the account — so small fingers
can't do any of it by accident.
💾 Backup & Restore
✅ Progress saves to your account automatically. Export also gives you a text code you can keep as an extra backup.

Both of these ask for the parent PIN first.

🇬🇧 UK Phonics · Free Beta
Watch your child learn to read.
WordStar turns British phonics into a daily adventure your 4–9 year old actually asks for — real teacher-style sounds, decodable stories, and letter writing, all in one gentle journey.

🔊
Real British voices
Every one of the 372 words is read aloud by a real recorded British voice, not a synthetic one — using the "pure sounds" UK schools teach, in the Letters & Sounds order your child's school follows.
📖
Stories they can really read
Decodable stories use only the sounds your child has already learned — so they read it themselves. That's the real phonics "aha!".
✍️
Learn to write, too
Guided finger-tracing teaches correct letter formation stroke by stroke, with friendly rhymes to remember each shape.
⭐
What's learned, stays learned
Gentle spaced review quietly brings tricky words back at just the right time — and you get a simple progress view of how they're doing.
What a day looks like
You tell us how long your child can happily sit — WordStar works out how many new words that is. It's a daily plan, not a limit: finish it and the next stop opens straight away, so a child who's enjoying it can keep going. You can change the pace whenever you like.
1
Today's words
A handful of new words, chosen in the order UK schools teach them — never a wall of them. Your child hears each one in a real recorded British voice before they try.
2
Play them in
Nine ways to practise — spelling, reading, sentences, sound boxes, dictation, word ladders, matching, sound hunts and alien words — so the same words get met from different angles instead of drilled.
3
They come back later
Anything wobbly quietly returns days or weeks later, just before it would have been forgotten. That's the part that turns "got it today" into "knows it".
The honest bits
Free while it's a beta
No card, no trial countdown. It's a small project shared with a few families.
No adverts, ever
Nothing here is trying to sell your child anything.
Very little about your child
A first name, an age, a chosen character and what they've practised. No surname, school or address.
Friends only by invitation
Children are only ever connected when a grown-up on each side says yes. No search, no public list, no messaging.
Made by a dad, for his son — and now for yours. ⭐ Privacy & Terms
🎉 You're joining via a friend's invite!
You're in! One last step.
Let's set your little star up — it takes about a minute.
What's your child's first name?
You can add more children later from Settings.
How old is your child?
Everyone starts at Stage 1 so no sound gets skipped — you can move them forward any time in Parent Zone.
Now let your child pick their character!
How long can your child happily sit and learn?
Will they play the word games too — Match, Sound Boxes, Dictation?
The games only ever use words they've already met, so they quietly do most of the revision. Playing them lets us teach new words faster.
You can change this any time in Parent Zone → Settings.
