The DecodeForge cast

Each friend shows you one idea by how they act. Meet them all and see how the ideas fit together.

  1. Segwyn Segment & blend — the master decoder who slides a word apart into its sounds and back together, and coaches the rest
  2. Chip Syllable division — chips a big word into syllable chunks you can actually say
  3. Digby Digraphs — fuses two letters into ONE sound (the 'one-breath' trick)
  4. Blenda Consonant blends — smashes a cluster together so each sound still shows
  5. Silent Ellie Silent / magic-e — stands silent at a word's end and makes the vowel say its name
  6. Sylva Vowel teams — pairs two vowels so the first does the talking
  7. Prefa Prefixes — clips a meaning-unit onto the FRONT of a word
  8. Rootley Roots / bases — holds the meaning core everything attaches to
  9. Fixby Suffixes — tacks a meaning-unit onto the END and guards the spelling-change rule
  10. Fluenna Fluency — reads the same passage until it flows, keeping the beat (repeated reading)
  11. Mapper Phoneme-grapheme mapping — maps each sound to its spelling tile on the board
