Structured Literacy Levels and Games, in Order

Try the structured literacy path

Tap a level. Watch what your child can read grow.

Ten levels of structured literacy, taught in the order reading science lays them out. Each level unlocks a new piece of the code, and every sentence below is the kind your child sounds out on their own after that level. No memorizing. Reading.

Level 1 · Sound Garden

No letters yet. Your child learns to hear that ship is three sounds: sh · i · p.

Everything starts with the ear. Hearing the sounds inside spoken words is the foundation every later level stands on.

Why families choose this pathEach level unlocks real reading on brand-new words, never memorized pages. It is the same sounds-first sequence a structured literacy tutor teaches, turned into a world your child will ask to visit. The full map of every game is just below.
