Learn to read.
By talking.
A patient voice tutor takes you from the very first sound to reading full paragraphs. No typing, no worksheets, no judgement — just you and Spark.
Start with nothing
You don't need to read a single word to begin. Spark explains everything aloud.
Speak your answers
No keyboard, no taps. Just say the sound or word — Spark hears and responds.
Real progression
From single sounds, to words, to sentences, to a whole paragraph read aloud.
Ten units. From /m/ to a full page.
Units 1 and 2 are ready now. The rest are coming over the next few weeks.
Sounds of letters
All 26 letters and the sounds they make. Start here if reading feels new.
Blending sounds into words
Take the sounds you know and slide them together to read your first words.
Common sight words
Words like 'the', 'and', 'is' — learn by sight, not by sounding out.
Two letters, one sound
sh, ch, th, ck — pairs of letters that team up.
Your first sentences
Put words together. Read a real sentence aloud.
Long vowels & silent e
How 'mat' becomes 'mate'. The magic of silent e.
Common endings
-ing, -ed, -s. Same word, different time.
Bigger words
Break words into chunks: rab-bit, but-ton, pic-nic.
Read a paragraph
A short story, read together with Spark.
Read with expression
Pace, pauses, feeling. Reading that comes alive.
