The Child Accounts Explained

How the Child Accounts Work

Each child gets their own username and password (and QR code for easy logging in). Children can play at home or school on iPhone, iPad, Android tablets and computers. From your Teacher Account, you can change levels, set homework, monitor progress and reset logins.

The Storyline

Children join our hero, Zak, on a mission to rescue six superhero friends: Flight, X-Ray, Stretch, Speedy, Strong and Invisibility from the clutches of Dr. Lazybones!

In Part 2, they capture the escaped baddies. In Part 3, they face Dr. Lazybones himself to become the ultimate reading and spelling champion!

“I love that it builds automaticity...and the very short nature of each game means even my reluctant readers see these as fun.”

Alison, Singapore American School

The Skills Children Practise

Phonics Hero level progression through six skills

To rescue a hero, children complete 40 games per level, progressing through six essential phonics skills: knowing the sounds, reading, spelling, camera/tricky word reading, camera/tricky word spelling and sentence reading.

Ready to see your students master these skills for themselves? Explore every level of Phonics Hero’s 850+ games free for 30 days. Log in to your Teacher Account to activate a trial, or create a free Teacher Account.

Content in Australian, English or American Accents

Because pronunciation differs across the English-speaking world, Phonics Hero is available in multiple accents so every child hears sounds the way they’re taught in class.

Motivation at Every Step

Children earn star points as they play or when they tap superhero leader Zak during gameplay. They can spend these in the Star Shop to buy hover boots, shields and other fun items for their secret hideout!

Huge Variety of Games

The games are fun, fast-paced and delightfully kooky! One minute children are feeding hungry tigers, the next they’re decorating lambs, and then there are those pesky flies to swat!

With 850+ unique games across 26 levels, children have lots of opportunities to practise what they're learning.
