I just launched ‘The Phonics App’ to teach kids phonics.

I made a v1 about 5 years ago just for my daughter because I didn’t like any of the apps available. They were just games with a sprinkling of learning on top. She’d spend hours on there and learn F all except how to be addicted to dopamine.

So I made something very clean and very simple that we’d do together for 3 minutes a day. She learned to read really fast!

But… then I forgot all about it for 4 years, only remembering it when my second daughter needed to learn to read. She’s 3 and I taught her the first 26 sounds already.

At this point I wondered if it’d be good for other people so I contacted a phonics expert and they liked it too, so we spent the last 6 months making it into a proper app.

It’s going well so far. Lots of lovely messages from parents! If you have a 3-6 y old please let me know what you think of it!
