iPhone
Free, forever. Video stories, decodable books, and phonics games — taught the same way schools teach reading. Made by a teacher, with progress reports for grown-ups.
Level One Reading is a free phonics app for children aged 4–6, made by a teacher. Every book, game, and lesson follows the same phonics method used in UK reception classrooms.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Free, forever. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads.
Decodable video books. Beautifully illustrated stories with video and narration — and every word can be sounded out using the phonics your child has already learned. No memorising. No guessing.
Phonics games. Designed to make practice feel like play, not homework.
Progress reports for grown-ups. See exactly which sounds your child knows, which books they've read, and what they're ready for next.
Made by a teacher, used by parents and teachers.
WHAT'S INSIDE
— Phase 2 and Phase 3 sounds, taught one stage at a time
— 30+ decodable books, with new ones added regularly
— Tappable phoneme dots under every word, so your child can hear each sound separately and blend them together
— Sound it Out — practise individual words at each stage, with mouth videos showing how each sound is formed
— Flashcards — See, Draw, Repeat. Watch how a sound is made, trace the letter, then say it back.
— Tricky Words — high-frequency words that don't follow phonics rules, taught with their own dream-world videos
— Stage Check — alien words at the end of each stage. Made-up words that can only be read by sounding them out. The truest test of phonics.
