Phonogram Fun: Kids Spelling
Phonics, Reading & Sight Words
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Turn this week's school spelling list into games, stories & dictation your child actually wants to do. Snap a photo — no ads, no busywork, just their words.
Young spellers need to hear words again. And again. And once more after that. Repetition is exactly how spelling sticks.
On busy weeknights, Phonogram Fun makes it easy for a parent or parents to provide an interactive experience around the weekly spelling list.
Phonogram Fun repeats every word on demand, breaks it into the sounds that make it up, and turns a plain spelling list into experiences kids genuinely want to come back to. You get to be the cheer squad.
THIS WEEK'S LIST, TRANSFORMED
Snap a photo of any spelling list — a homework sheet, a school handout, your own handwriting, and it becomes:
• PHONOGRAM LESSONS - see and hear the phonograms inside each word. "Sight" isn't five random letters; it's s + igh + t, and your child can tap each piece to hear its sound
• FILL THE GAPS - the week's words are woven into a one-of-a-kind story, then hidden. Spell them back in across 5 levels, from Easy all the way to Blind Spell and Wild Spell, each round tougher than the last
The repetition kids need, with the variety that keeps them coming back.
34 PHONOGRAM MODULES
Alongside the weekly list, 34 standalone spelling modules - each being a complete, self-contained lesson. Dip into any module, in any order, at any level, from first sounds to confident speller:
• Hear and Learn introduces each module's phonograms and words before practising
• Reading and dictation practice in every module
• Pick the Phonogram - fill-in-the-blank rounds with hints and star ratings
• Smart review resurfaces the words your child finds tricky
EXPLORE EVERY SOUND
Built on the 70 phonograms - the sound-letter building blocks behind every English word:
• Word analyser - type any word and watch it split into colour-coded, tappable sound segments
• Interactive chart of all 70 phonograms with sounds and example words
• Animated word builder, sound playground, timed arcade game and more
PROGRESS THAT STICKS
Daily streaks, mastered-word tracking, and a parent dashboard showing exactly which sounds need work. Adjustable voice, font size and strictness for every learner.
Whether you're a parent helping with the weekly spelling list, a homeschooler teaching sounds-first phonics, or a teacher wanting phonogram practice kids actually ask for — Phonogram Fun turns repetition into engagement, and engagement into understanding.
Designed for ages 5–12. Australian voices and spelling conventions. No ads, ever.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
iPad compatible - Give your kids some guilt-free iPad time. We're big on low-stimulation, educational screentime, so we've optimised PhonogramFun to work on an iPad in landscape view.
Reminders - PhonogramFun can send you a notification on the day homework comes home (you tell the app, optional) and each day when you usually help your child with homework (Again, you tell the app, optional!). This all happens locally on the device with no data sent to servers or stored.
Flashcards - a big overhaul of the flashcard experience based on feedback from parents who like to spend some time doing flashcards with their child.
Navigation improvements - parents told us the spelling list was the main attraction so we've made it easier to get in and get started with your weekly spelling list experience.
