PhonicsPath turns “learning to read” into a warm ten-minute ritual you do together. There is no app voice and no autoplay — you say each sound, your child copies you, and the app keeps the lesson clear, colorful, and perfectly paced. It follows a proven, parent-led phonics method: introduce a sound, blend it into words, read a little, and celebrate. Short daily wins beat long, tiring sessions — so lessons are designed to end while your child still feels proud. WHY PARENTS LOVE IT • You are the voice. The app never speaks for your child; you model each sound and they follow — the way reading is really learned. • Say sounds, not letter names. A built-in guide shows exactly how to say each sound (“mmm,” not “em”). • Show → together → their turn. Every step uses the same gentle routine, so kids always know what to do. • Tap a tricky word to sound it out — each letter lights up and blends. • Decodable stories let your child actually READ, not memorize. • A clear reading path shows exactly where you are and what’s next. BUILT FOR FAMILIES • No ads. No accounts. No tracking. Works fully offline. • Everything stays on your device — your child’s name and progress never leave it. • A grown-ups-only gate guards settings and purchases. • A Parent Corner with a full how-it-works guide, daily-length setting, and one-tap “Delete all my data.” FREE TO TRY, ONE-TIME UNLOCK Stage 1 is completely free so you can learn the routine with your child. When you’re ready, a single one-time purchase unlocks the full reading path — every remaining lesson and story. No subscription, ever. PhonicsPath is made for a parent and child sitting side by side. Ten minutes, lots of praise, and steady progress your child can feel.
