Sporty maze ,

Really helped my kid

My 10 year was struggling at school, particularly with their phonics. Going back to basics with this has helped consolidate their knowledge and their reading has improved. They enjoyed the games and there was no parental nagging involved.

Developer Response ,

Oh we like the sound of no parental nagging! Thank you for the review and we are so pleased we have made a phonics difference!

Loved it

My daughter needed some support with her spelling. Phonics Hero really helped her improve - she stopped just wildly guessing. She loved the quirky games and the superhero storyline. Highly recommend.

Developer Response ,
