Blend Sounds, Decode Words
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Created by a Speech-Language Pathologist, Score 4 Phonics teaches continuous blending, the research-backed way to decode. Science of Reading. Free 7-day trial!
Is your child learning to read?
Most kids are taught to sound out words in a choppy way.
s… u… n. Pause. Pause. Pause.
By the time they reach the last sound, they've already forgotten the first one.
Score 4 Phonics teaches phonics through continuous blending.
Instead of choppy sounding out:
s – u – n
We teach:
ssssuuunnn
No pauses. Sounds flow together until the word clicks.
Research supports continuous blending as an effective way to make decoding easier. Score 4 Phonics is built around this method. Every single turn.
No guessing. No memorizing. Just phonics.
The foundational skill children need to become confident readers.
How it works
Drag the blending slider to hear each letter sound blend together. Decode the word. Choose the matching picture. Get it right and place your piece on the board.
First to connect four wins.
It's a game. But every move is real reading practice.
Created by a Speech-Language Pathologist
I created Score 4 Phonics after years of helping children learn to read through systematic phonics instruction.
This app teaches the same decoding skills I use in therapy, grounded in research and real clinical experience.
