Nexlyr Product
26 letter sounds. 260 research-backed words. Zero distractions. A calm, focused phonics app for ages 2–6 — built on real early literacy research, not guesswork.
Features
We removed everything that doesn’t help your child learn. What’s left is clean, calm, and focused.
Every letter taught in the proven phonics order — starting with S, A, T, P, I, N — the letters experts teach first because they combine to form the most early words.
10 carefully chosen words per letter. Every word is a concrete noun your child can see, touch, and point to in daily life — from "sun" and "sock" to "rabbit" and "rain".
No dancing characters, no reward showers, no coins or stars. The teaching is the product. Every screen exists to teach one thing clearly: the sound a letter makes.
Track which letters your child has practised, view practice counts and last-practised dates. Your progress, at a glance — without gamification or pressure.
The Research
Every word was selected by cross-referencing three gold-standard early childhood literacy frameworks.
The world's leading toddler vocabulary assessment, normed across 100+ languages and hundreds of thousands of children.
The proven first-reading word system used in Montessori classrooms worldwide. Phonetically regular and age-appropriate.
The systematic phonics programme trusted by thousands of schools. Proven teaching order and sound-word associations.
The result: every word is a concrete noun a 2–3 year old encounters in daily life — animals, food, body parts, toys, and the world around them. If your child can point to it, it’s in the app.
What We Stand For
No dancing characters, no confetti, no entertainment layer. The teaching is the product.
No tracking, no analytics, no third-party SDKs. Everything stays on your device.
Your child will never see an advertisement in this app. Not now, not later, not ever.
No timers, no scores, no streaks. Your child learns at their own pace.
