About this app

Frederick lets speakers of ANY language learn to read, spell and pronounce English through play, all in English! No translating or memorizing!

Because traditional lessons can be boring, confusing and ineffective, many students struggle to become confident readers and speakers.

So, Frederick lets learners teach themselves to read and speak English in two simple steps:

First, you compare letter combinations to develop reading skills, pronunciation and listening. Even non-native English learners can understand with pictures instead of translations.

Then, fun games let you review what you learn in different ways. So you build confidence and fluency, automatically.

Frederick teaches PHONICS (the rules of pronunciation), and SIGHT WORDS (words that break pronunciation rules). All 44 sounds of English are covered across more than 2,000 words, from the alphabet to advanced words and full sentences.

There’s a “Word Bank” where you can see all of the words you’ve found. You can also unlock all levels and modes with “Teacher Mode." This enables learners to start at the right level for their ability.

Frederick works offline, and you can easily track progress with word counters and rewards!

The first 3 levels are free:

the alphabet (Aa, Ba, Cc…)
short vowels and consonants (at, in, up…)
three-letter words (cat, bug, pig…)
Pay the one-time upgrade fee to get instant access to levels 4-35. (Upgrade within the first 30 minutes of using Frederick and get 75% off)

Frederick is perfect for:

Adult English language learners who want to understand the rules of spelling and pronunciation so they can quickly reduce their accent and understand natives more easily.

Beginning English learners who want to learn all in English so they become able to speak.

Teachers and parents (even those with NO EXPERIENCE teaching reading) who want a simple, natural and fun way to teach kids or adults to read, spell and pronounce English. There are no confusing instructions in Frederick. There’s also no “system” to learn, so even a two-year-old can improve with Frederick!

Ratings and reviews

My kid is easily bored with most of the kid phonics apps. The quality here is amazing! I love hearing him sounding out words and popping those bubbles. I appreciate that there are few different games to practice with. The wheel spinning is sometimes very difficult to get it to be stopped on the intended letters. I do wish there was some control over the words used, timer length, or word count in a round. Some of the words are not words to encourage young child to learn!

The app is behaving strangely after three levels. It doesn't allow me to continue learning, and there's no feedback. Even though I paid for the premium version, there are only three levels. This is really strange.

The game doesn't necessarily check your phonetic knowledge like asking you to differentiate "bag" from "beg." (Or the intent just isn't there). Usually, it's too easy to because it gives you completely differently sounding words to choose from. Also, it would be nice if it had a free trial considering the fairly high price tag. But I appreciate the effort to gamify studying pronunciations or English in overall
