Build & Play

Build the practice your students need

Start with built-in lists — Dolch and Fry high-frequency words and phonics-pattern words in a research-informed sequence — or add your own words, sentences, sounds, and vocabulary definitions. Then turn your content into a game, flashcards, or practice routine students actually want to do.

Ready-made when you need speed. Customizable when students need precision. No student accounts required.

How it works

1

Step 1 — Choose the target.

High-frequency words, a phonics pattern, this week's vocabulary, specific sounds — whatever your students need to practice.

2

Step 2 — Pick a list or build your own.

Built-in lists are organized and ready to go. Or type in exactly the words, sentences, or sounds you want.

3

Step 3 — Play it your way.

Launch it as a game, flashcards, or spinner — for whole group, centers, intervention, tutoring, partner practice, or at home.
