Learning Without Pressure

Dyslexia affects people in different ways. Some learners may find spelling challenging, while others need additional support with reading unfamiliar words or connecting letters and sounds.

Our games offer enjoyable opportunities for additional practice, exploration and confidence-building.

Across our games, children can enjoy:

  • Clear, easy-to-follow instructions.
  • Large buttons suitable for touchscreens.
  • Audio support in relevant activities.
  • Adjustable talking speeds where speech is used.
  • Hints and opportunities to try again.
  • Different difficulty levels in the literacy games.
  • No countdown timers or penalties for mistakes.
  • Positive encouragement and celebration of progress.

These activities complement effective literacy teaching. They are not intended to replace structured literacy instruction or individualised specialist support.

Every Learner Deserves to Shine 🌈

Every word you learn is progress. Every attempt is an opportunity. Every learner deserves encouragement.

Different Ways to Learn, Different Ways to Shine.
