Letter Buddy

The Redbrick Lab

About this app

Letter Buddy teaches young children to read using the proven UK Letters
and Sounds phonics program — through games they actually want to play.

Designed for children aged 3–6, Letter Buddy builds reading foundations
step by step: letter names first, then sounds, then blending words. Every
activity is short, rewarding, and works without an internet connection.

── WHAT YOUR CHILD LEARNS ──

• Letter names A–Z through Creature Quest
• 56 phonics sounds through Jungle Ears
• Blending and spelling CVC and CCVC words through Word Trek
• Phoneme recognition through Sound Safari

── HOW IT WORKS ──

Your child picks a learning buddy and sets off on a journey through
colourful locations — Caterpillar Corner, Fairy Glade, Mushroom Ring and
more. Each location unlocks as they make progress, giving them a sense of
adventure and achievement.

Games are kept short (5–10 minutes) so they fit around a busy day.
Celebrations, stamps, and a Passport of achievements keep children
motivated to come back.

── FOR PARENTS ──

• Track progress through the built-in Passport
• Set your child's name for a personalised experience
• Enable daily reminders so learning becomes a habit
• Parent area protected by a simple maths gate

── WORKS OFFLINE ──

All sounds and activities are built into the app. No Wi-Fi needed once
installed — perfect for travel, car journeys, or anywhere with no signal.

Letter Buddy follows the AUS, UK and US Letters and Sounds curriculum,
making it an ideal companion to what children learn in Kindergarten and Year 1, and a great head start for children who haven't yet started school.
