Why parents are often left guessing

Schools see detail you don't.

It is hard to know which sounds are secure and which still need work.

Free apps are practice, not direction.

They are games that teach in a fixed order; they cannot tell you which sounds your child actually needs next.

Legible shows the next step.

A short assessment checks each sound two ways: can your child recognise it, and can they use it to read a word. The gap between those two is where practice helps most, and it is exactly what Legible shows you.

Legible was built by a primary school teacher and a parent, because we kept being asked the same question: how do I help at home? Read our story.

Here's what it looks like

Real screens from the app. No mock-ups.

Legible assessment results screen showing which sounds a child knows in plain English
Assessment results, plain English, no jargon
Legible practice session screen showing a phonics activity targeted to a child's gaps
Practice session, targeted to your child's gaps, no scores or timers

How it works

  • Assess in minutes

    Work through sounds and words together, about five minutes.

  • See what's needed

    Clear, jargon-free results show strengths and what to practise next.

  • Practise with purpose

    Built-in activities target exactly the sounds your child needs.

  • See the difference

    Check again after a week or two. Legible shows you which sounds have become secure since last time.
