What is my role as a parent or tutor?
We recommend that an adult actively supports their child’s learning. This helps you understand their progress and guide them when needed. Parents, grandparents, and tutors can all benefit from learning alongside children!

We recommend using a laptop, computer, or iPad for the best experience. An iPhone or small-screen device is not suitable.

How does Word Whizz help children with learning difficulties like dyslexia?
Our Structured Literacy approach is research-based and highly effective for children with dyslexia. It provides:
- Step-by-step, systematic teaching
- Repeated practice at different levels (letters, sounds, words, and sentences)
- Unlimited access to workshops so children can revisit lessons as needed
Research shows children with dyslexia may need 3-4 times more practice than their peers, which is why we offer ongoing access to all workshops.
