A real learning journey

Master the 250 most useful words every beginning reader needs. The game remembers what you know: tricky words come back more often, mastered words make room for new ones. Earn stars and travel toward the ABC Planet as your reading grows.

The whole word, not the letters

Every word is shown complete and read as one shape, never sounded out letter by letter. Meeting a word again and again — and deciding about it within a couple of seconds — stores its word picture in memory, so the eye recognises the word instead of decoding it. That is what fluent reading is made of.

Built with a special-education teacher, tested with children

ABC Smash was developed together with a special-education teacher and tested with children who are learning to read, so the difficulty adapts to each skill: hard enough to learn from, never so hard that a child gives up.

Reward minigames

Get far enough in a game and you win a treat to spend — and every one is reading in a different disguise: catching falling words, turning cards, finding words in an ice maze, loading a word wagon, reading your way out of a labyrinth, cooking from a recipe.

Grammar practice that feels like play

Smash all the nouns. Now all the verbs. Now the adjectives. Quick rounds build word knowledge without it ever feeling like homework.

Made for kids — and safe by design
