Readwood: Learn to Read

s... a... t... sat! In Readwood, a magical redwood forest where words grow, children aged 3 to 7 learn to read one sound at a time with Sprout, a baby redwood who grows from a tiny seedling into a young redwood as your child reads. Grow a reader!

Sprout leads your child along eight redwood trails. At each stop they meet a new letter sound, trace it with a finger, catch the berry that makes it, find the picture that starts with it, slide across stepping stones to blend sounds into words, build words from letter tiles, and then read words all by themselves. Each trail ends with a little book they can truly read, because every word in it uses only the sounds they have learned.

SYSTEMATIC SYNTHETIC PHONICS
- The SATPIN order used in schools, so your child reads real words like "sat" and "pin" on the very first trail
- 45 letter sounds in school order: s a t p i n m d, then g o c k e u r h, b f l, ck ff ll ss, j v w x y z qu, sh ch th ng, the vowel teams ai ee igh oa oo, ar or ur ow oi er, and finally blends and longer words
- Pure sounds ("sss", "mmm"), never "suh" or "muh", so blending works
- Two- and three-letter sounds (sh, igh) always stay one unit: one berry, one stepping stone, one tile
- Nearly 300 decodable words and 8 decodable storybooks

SPROUT KEEPS TRACK
- Sounds and words your child wobbles on come back; the mastered ones appear less often
- The Practice button builds a lesson from exactly what is needed
- A miss gets gentle help from Sprout, and the item returns a little later

GROWING TALLER
- Spoken praise, streaks, stars, stickers, medals and a sticker book with a page for every trail
- Sprout grows taller with each trail, and the Tallest Tree medal waits at the end
- A girl or boy narrator voice, chosen by your child, for up to three explorers on one device

FOR PARENTS
- Behind a simple gate, the parent area marks every sound Strong, Learning, Shaky or Not yet, lists every word your child reads alone and suggests what to practice, with sound and music switches and a reset for each explorer
