Sort & Spell: Phonics for Kids

Future Bloom Studio

In-app purchases

About this app

Sort & Spell is a phonics game for children aged 4 to 7. Tap a tile to lift it, tap a jar to pour it in. Sort letters into words, syllables into longer words, then words into sentences. Every instruction is spoken aloud, so early readers never have to read to play.

FOUR JAR WORLDS, 80 LEVELS
• Letter Jars: build words letter by letter, from three-letter words to five-letter blends, with vowels and consonants in their own colours.
• Blend Jars: st, fl, sh, ch, th and more on a single tile, so children hear each blend as one sound.
• Sound Jars: clap the syllables and put them in order, up to four-clap words like watermelon.
• Word Jars: arrange words into sentences, capital letter first, with a full stop or a question mark at the end.

A DAILY JAR
• Every day, one short puzzle mixes three words your child already knows, with extra practice on the ones they found tricky.
• Play it on consecutive days to grow a streak of stars. Miss a day and a new streak simply starts.
• The Daily Jar is free for everyone, with or without the full game.

MADE FOR SMALL HANDS
• Tap to lift, tap to pour. No dragging and no timers, and every finished level earns at least one star.
• Every instruction is read aloud, with a replay button.
• Big, clear tiles in a font designed for early readers, so a, g and l look the way children write them.
• Spoken instructions can follow an Australian, American or British accent.
• Stars for every level, and stickers to collect in a sticker book; tap one to hear the word it was earned on.
• Made for phones and tablets, with bigger jars on a tablet.

FOR GROWN-UPS
• A parental gate keeps settings and the purchase away from little fingers.
• See what your child practised this week, a phonics map of what comes next, and tips such as "mixes up b and d".
• Set a daily play limit of 10, 15 or 20 minutes; when it is reached, the game asks for a rest.
• Up to four children can share one device, each with their own progress.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No ads, no tracking and no links out of the app.
• Progress stays on your device. We never collect anything about your child.
• Plays offline; the sounds are built in.

PAY ONCE
Letter Jars levels 1 to 3 and the Daily Jar are free to play. One purchase opens every level for all the children on the device: no subscription, no renewals. It is bought only in the grown-ups area, behind the parental gate.
