Parents Are Seeing Real Results
From "I don't want to read" to "Can we make another book?" — hear what parents are saying.
"My daughter asks to 'make a new book' every single night now. She's reading words I didn't think she could — all because the stories use exactly the sounds she's learning. It's like magic."
Sarah M.
Mum of 2 • Sydney
"We've tried so many phonics apps. This is the only one my son actually wants to use. He loves that the stories have his name in them and he gets to pick dinosaur themes every time!"
David K.
Dad • London
"I printed out a story book and my 5 year old took it to school for show and tell. She told everyone 'I can read this whole book by myself!' The teacher asked me how I made it."
Rachel T.
Mum of 3 • Auckland
"The audio narration is a game changer. My son listens along while following the words, and I can actually hear his reading improving week by week. Worth every cent."
James W.
Dad • Melbourne
"Finally something that actually aligns with what they're doing at school. I just select the sounds from his homework sheet and he gets a story that practices exactly those sounds. So clever."
Emma L.
Mum • Toronto
"Both my kids fight over whose turn it is to pick the next theme. We went from 'I don't want to read' to 'can we make another book please?' in about a week. Incredible."
Michael P.
Dad of 2 • Brisbane

Help Your Child Master 200+ Sight Words
These are the words your child needs to recognise on sight — "the", "was", "said", "come". Our system breaks down each word so they understand why it sounds the way it does.
HFW Mastery System
Not just flashcards — real understanding
For every word, your child gets:
- 🔤Phoneme breakdown: how each sound maps to letters
- ⚠️"Tricky part" alerts — the bits that don't follow rules
- 🔊Audio pronunciation — hear it said correctly
- 📝Example sentences — see it used in context
Why do high-frequency words matter?
High-frequency words make up 50-75% of all text your child will read. When they can recognise these words instantly, reading becomes fluent instead of frustrating. Our system ensures they don't just memorise — they understand the phonics behind each word.
Progressive difficulty
12 carefully sequenced word sets that build on each other. Start with the most common words and progress to more complex ones. Your child moves at their own pace — no pressure.
"Tricky parts" — the secret weapon
Most apps just show the word and expect memorisation. We highlight the exact letters that don't follow normal rules — so your child understands WHY "said" doesn't sound like "s-a-i-d". This builds real reading intelligence, not just memory.
One Subscription. Everything Your Child Needs.
No more juggling multiple apps and subscriptions. PhonicsMaker gives your child a complete phonics learning system — stories, games, and tools — all for less than the price of one children's book.

Questions Parents Always Ask
Everything you need to know before getting started
Parent FAQs
Tap a question to see the answer
Hi! 👋 Here are the questions parents ask most often. Tap any question to see the answer.
Is this safe for my child to use independently?
Absolutely! All games are designed for independent play with clear visual instructions, audio support, and hints when they get stuck. There's no chat, no ads, no external links. Your child can play on their own while you get things done — you'll just hear the occasional celebration sound when they get something right!
What ages and reading levels does this support?
PhonicsMaker is designed for children aged 4-8 who are learning to read through phonics. The story generator supports all reading levels — from simple CVC words (cat, dog, hat) through to complex phoneme patterns. Games have 3 difficulty levels so they grow with your child. Whether your child is just starting or needs extra practice, it adapts to them.
Do I need to know about phonics to use this?
Not at all! Just select the sounds your child is learning at school (their teacher will tell you) and our AI handles the rest. The stories automatically use age-appropriate words, proper decodable text, and curriculum-aligned content. You don't need to be a reading expert.
How are the AI story books different from regular books?
Regular children's books use whatever words the author wants — many are too hard for early readers. Our AI stories are genuinely "decodable" — they only use words your child can actually sound out based on the phonics they've learned. Every story is personalised with their name, their favourite themes, and the exact sounds they need to practice. Plus they come with audio narration and printable PDFs.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes! Every game saves scores and tracks improvement over time. You can see which sounds they're mastering and which need more practice. The story generator also keeps a library of all books created, so you can see how far they've come.
What devices does it work on?
PhonicsMaker works on any device with a browser — iPads, tablets, laptops, phones, even smart TVs. No app to download, no updates to install. Your child can start reading on the iPad and continue on the laptop. It just works.
What happens after the free trial? How much does it cost?
You get a full 7-day free trial with access to everything — unlimited stories, all 7 games, HFW training, the works. After 7 days, it's $24 AUD/month/month. Cancel anytime with one click — no questions asked, no cancellation fees. We also offer a 14-day money-back guarantee after purchase, so you're completely protected.
Is this aligned with what my child learns at school?
Yes! PhonicsMaker is aligned with major phonics curricula around the world. All content follows the Science of Reading approach — systematic, explicit phonics instruction. No mixed methods, no guessing. Just the same evidence-based approach the best schools use.
