Splash through word families and tame the tricky ones.
At Spelling Springs words are grouped into families, so one pattern unlocks dozens of words. Dictation quests read a word aloud and your child builds it letter by letter, and the words they miss come back later until they stick.
Your explorer starts where they are, not where their birthday says. Quests adapt as they go,
so they can linger at one stop or race ahead to the next.
