About

Letruga teaches children aged 3 to 7 to read in English, step by step: the sound of each letter, blending sounds into words, and their very first stories. Synthetic phonics, the way schools teach it.

Every sound your child learns becomes a new segment of Letruga, the friendly caterpillar who reads along with them.

THE SCHOOL METHOD Systematic synthetic phonics in the classic Letters and Sounds order: s a t p, i n m d… all the way to sh, ch, th, ng and the vowel teams ai, ee, igh, oa, oo, ar, or. 46 stops across 8 worlds.

ONLY WHAT THEY ALREADY KNOW Every word, sentence and story uses only the sounds your child has learned. Tricky words like the, to and was are introduced one at a time. We never ask them to read a sound they haven't been taught.

GAMES THAT TEACH • Meet each sound with a picture word • Trace letters with the right stroke order and direction • Sound buttons: tap each sound, blend, read the word • Blend sounds into words: s + at = sat • Spell words with sound tiles • Rhymes and clapping games to tune the ear • Read and choose the picture, then read whole sentences

THEIR SCHOOL LETTERS Print, capitals or joined handwriting: choose the style their school uses.

STORIES THAT GROW WITH THEM Decodable stories that unlock as they learn new sounds, each with a comprehension question at the end.

A LITTLE EVERY DAY A short daily practice with what they find hardest, day streaks, stickers, costumes for Letruga and a diploma at the end of every world.

FOR PARENTS Progress for every sound and word, minutes practised, printable worksheets, a daily reminder and a screen-time limit. Up to 4 children.

SAFE FOR CHILDREN No ads, no accounts and no data leaving the device. Purchases and links sit behind a parental gate.
