HeartPals
Meet the tricky little words, for ages 6–8. Some words — said, to, he — have ONE part that makes a surprise sound; the rest you can sound out. HeartPals shows the word, lets you hear it, and asks you to mark the surprise part — then gives the friendly reason why. No memorising whole shapes, no score. On-device, no accounts.
