ABC Smash: Learn to Read

ABC Smash is a fast, friendly word game that turns reading and grammar practice into an arcade adventure. Words fly across the screen — read the rule, then catch only the words that match. Word by word, reading becomes fluent and fast. ★ A real learning journey Master the 250 most useful words every beginning reader needs. The game remembers what you know: tricky words come back more often, mastered words make room for new ones. Earn stars and travel toward the ABC Planet as your reading grows. ★ How it teaches: the whole word, not the letters Every word is shown complete and read as one shape, never sounded out letter by letter. Meeting the same word again and again — and having to decide about it within a couple of seconds — is what stores its word picture in memory, so the eye recognises the word instead of decoding it. That is what fluent reading is made of: the fewer words a child has to work out, the more attention is left over for the meaning, and reading gets faster on its own. Three principles do the work: — Whole-word recognition. The word is always shown complete, so what is remembered is its picture. — Spaced repetition. A shaky word comes back sooner and more often; a mastered one steps aside for a new one. — Gentle time pressure. A short clock rewards recognising over decoding — the step from "I can work it out" to "I just know it". ★ Built with a special-education teacher, tested with children ABC Smash was developed together with a special-education teacher and tested with children who are learning to read. Watching them play let us check that the adaptive system hits the right level of difficulty for each skill — hard enough to learn from, never so hard that a child gives up — so that every minute of practice counts. ★ Six reward minigames Get far enough in a single game and you win a treat to spend, and each one is reading in a different disguise: — Survival: words rain down, catch the ones that fit the rule — Pairs: turn two cards — a picture, and the word for it — Ice Maze: find the hidden words in a grid of letters — Word Wagon: drive the wagon along the rail and load only the words on its sign — Word Labyrinth: read a sentence to find the way out — Recipe Kitchen: cook the dish by reading its list of ingredients ★ Grammar practice that feels like play Smash all the nouns. Now all the verbs. Now the adjectives. Quick rounds build word knowledge without it ever feeling like homework. ★ Two more ways to read Picture Words: see the picture, shoot the word — new vocabulary without a single translation. What is missing?: a word with a gap and the pieces flying past — spot the one that completes it. ★ Made for kids — and safe by design • NO ads • NO in-app purchases (buy once, play forever) • NO accounts or sign-up • NO personal data — no name, no email, no advertising ID Your child's learning progress stays on your device. ★ Plays great anywhere Works fully offline.
