BuddyQuest
Become a reading coach — for ages 9–14. Poco, a younger reader, gets a little stuck on a word, and YOU pick the best way to help: say the sound, model the blend, tap it out, or cheer the strategy. Coaching a reader is one of the best ways to lock the sounds in for yourself. Print a session card and run it with a younger buddy. On-device, no accounts.

Meet your mentor
Every Spark & Anvil app has a friendly mentor character that demonstrates, asks, and patiently scaffolds learning.

- ✅ No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs
- ✅ Free — no ads, no in-app purchases
