WordQuest: Spelling Adventure

Phonics hidden in a story

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

The first quests are free. Over forty quests across four lands, every rule chosen by a dyslexia specialist. Everything is read aloud. The Wizard has stolen the world's words. Only one adventurer can win them back. WordQuest is a spelling adventure for children aged 6 to 11 who find reading and spelling hard. Your child travels through four lands, solving over forty quests, and every quest hides a spelling rule. They don't sit a lesson. They rescue the words. BUILT BY A SPECIALIST Every rule, every word list and every order of teaching comes from Dr Michael Thomson, a Chartered Educational Psychologist with forty years of teaching dyslexic children. The game follows his book, The Land of Letters, used in specialist schools. Nothing is random: sounds come before names, short words before long, one rule at a time. FULLY NARRATED A child who cannot yet read the instructions can still play. Every page, every question, every word is spoken by a warm narrator, and a friendly cat explains anything new. Tap any word to hear it again. WHAT YOUR CHILD LEARNS • Vowel sounds and vowel names • Consonant blends and digraphs (sh, th, ch, wh) • Magic E and the vowel that says its name • Doubling, -ck and -k, -dge and -tch, soft and hard C • Plurals, suffixes, prefixes and syllables • Homophones, silent letters and the tricky W words HOW IT PLAYS • A story with real choices, and a "what might have happened" scene when you get it wrong (they are quite fun) • Over forty quests: sort, build, fill, match and spell • Spelling Ranks and a level counter, so effort shows • Mini-games in every land: the Magic E Cannon, Syllable Drums, Bridge Builder and more • No adverts, no chat, no accounts for children, nothing to read before you can start THE FIRST QUESTS ARE FREE The first four quests are free with no card needed. The whole adventure, all four lands and every quest, is one payment of £39.99. No subscription. For parents, teachers and tutors of children with dyslexia, and for any child who would rather go on an adventure than do a worksheet. Privacy: WordQuest collects no personal data.
