Making Words STABLE
Guided word-building lessons designed around best practices to build literacy skills. Your child plays with their eyes: make the word, sort the sounds, find the secret word.
Built because spelling practice should feel like play, and because Ellie's literacy specialist showed us a method that works.
Who it's for
- Your child selects with eye gaze, touch, or both.
- They're beginning to connect letters and sounds.
- Each lesson moves through the same gentle flow: make the words, sort them by their sounds, and see how a small change transfers into a new word.
- Every lesson ends with a secret word that uses all the letters, a small puzzle to finish on.
- You want practice that never scolds: a first miss keeps their correct letters and offers the sounds again; the answer only appears on a second try.
- Their own people and words can appear in the lessons.
Needs: Windows 10/11
Eye gaze: works with eye-gaze devices via our free Gaze Layer
