Paper Castle is a web app that can teach your child to read. The ten-minute daily practice sequentially develops all of the key phonics skills. That will give them a huge boost to everything else they need to learn at school.
Dailly practice helps with both motivation and progress. Just pick a set time each day so it becomes part of the family routine. Their challenge is to get a high score at the end of their ten minute practice.
Paper Castle is the result of a decade of teacher development, involving two previous apps and countless paper-based systems. There is a strong research foundation covering everything from which fonts are easiest for young readers, to how the human memory system functions.
Getting started is easy. It can be run on any browser and will work on iPads, Android tablets, PCs, Macs, and phones. It's free to use and requires no login. Below you will find a link to launch the app, a full guide, and related resources.
To start the reading practice click 'Reading' and then 'Start' (if they are learning their letter sounds) or 'Boost Start' (if they know their letter sounds).
