Wordwave Reef

  • English
  • Ages 5 to 12
  • Ten-minute quests

Dive from first sounds to deep-sea stories.

Wordwave Reef brings every part of English together. Young explorers start with sounds, letters and pictures, with every instruction read aloud, then move on to spelling patterns, short stories, grammar and writing. Each quest is short enough to finish in one sitting, and words your child misses come back until they stick.

A peek inside a quest

This is one question from a real Wordwave Reef quest. Pick an answer: get it right and you earn treasure, miss and a hint shows the method instead of the answer.

  • Stars and XP for every right answer
  • Step-by-step hints, never just the answer
  • Read aloud for early readers
Wordwave Reef
Question 4 of 10

"The crab hid under a rock because the gull was circling." Why did the crab hide?

Treasure! +10 XP and a star for Pip's collection.

Not quite. Here's a hint: Look for the word "because". The reason comes right after it.
