Dyslexia & ADHD vs Reading Forge

Find the on-screen reading settings that suit you. For dyslexic and ADHD readers, children and adults alike — and for anyone who tires quickly on screen. This app is a settings lab: experiment with fonts (including OpenDyslexic), text size, letter and line spacing, and colors on a sample text — and see the result instantly. IMPORTANT — This app is not a screening or diagnostic tool. Dyslexia is diagnosed by a qualified professional (speech-language pathologist). This app only helps you explore display preferences. WHY SPACING MATTERS In a controlled study published in PNAS (Zorzi et al., 2012), increasing the space between letters immediately improved reading accuracy in children with dyslexia — with no training. Effects vary from reader to reader, which is exactly why testing your own settings matters. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Try different fonts and compare them on the same text - Adjust text size, letter spacing and line spacing - Test text and background colors for your visual comfort - Send feedback and suggest new settings Once you know what works for you, apply your preferences in our other apps (Scandys, Navidys, School tool) or in your device's accessibility settings.

Words are forged, not memorized. Reading Forge turns learning to read into a warm fantasy craft game. Your child is an apprentice smith, and every phonics skill they master lets them shape letters, sounds, and words into artifacts, tools, and stories. It's explicit, structured-literacy instruction, inspired by the Orton-Gillingham approach, built for beginning readers, kids with dyslexia, tutors, and homeschoolers. WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE IT - Decoding, not memorizing: kids build words from sounds, so they can read words they've never seen. - Multisensory: see it, hear it, say it, and write it with finger or Apple Pencil. - Calm and kind: no ads, no punishing timers, no red X's. - Works offline, on-device. Nothing about your child leaves the iPad. - Starts at the right level with a short placement trial and tracks every skill. A COMPLETE READING JOURNEY Ten regions of the Smithing Lands take kids from first letter sounds and short vowels, through digraphs, blends, magic e, vowel teams, and r-controlled vowels, all the way to syllables and word parts - roughly Pre-K through grade 4, one skill at a time. PLAY THAT TEACHES Build Words, Vowel Valley, Write It, Sound Boxes, Word Chains, and more, plus a Story Vault of decodable readers unlocked as kids progress. FOR GROWN-UPS A parental-gated Guild Office with progress reports, assignments, and a recording booth to use a familiar voice for sounds and words.
