Every story is read in a calm, recorded voice. Tap a word and hear it again. Sprout and Clover never hurry.
Choose a friend
Every explorer picks a friend.
The friend your child picks sits beside every lesson. It cheers the right answers and waits kindly through the wrong ones.
Sprout
A curious little dragon
Clover
A gentle garden bunny
Maple
A playful woodland fox
Pip
A thoughtful little owl
Honey
A warm-hearted bear
Pebble
A cheerful river otter
How a lesson goes
One small lesson, start to finish.
Every skill takes the same few steps, so a two year old and a five year old both know what comes next.
01 · Learn it
Hear each sound.
c, a, t, said slowly, then put together. Tap any sound to hear it again, as many times as your child likes.
02 · Try it
Find the letter.
A friend asks, your child taps. A right answer gets a cheer. A wrong one gets a gentle hint and another go, never a buzzer.
03 · Use it
Read a real story.
The same sounds come back in a short story. Tap a word to hear it, or follow along one word at a time.
04 · Write it
Trace it with a finger.
Guided tracing follows the real path of each letter and number, one stroke at a time, then there is free drawing to keep.
05 · Celebrate
Stars for showing up.
Finishing a lesson earns stars for the sticker garden. Stars count practice, never perfection.

Hear it for yourself.
These are the same recordings your child hears in Sprout. Tap each sound, then blend them into a word.

What they learn
Six little gardens to grow in.
A winding trail through the skills that come before reading, in the order small children meet them.

s

Beginning sounds, rhymes and blending, with 29 sounds recorded by real voices.

Reading
102 words in eight sound groups and 40 stories, each with one question at the end.
Writing
Guided tracing of every letter and number, then free drawing to keep.
Picture play
Picture matching and picture talk for the youngest explorers.
For grown-ups
Quiet on purpose.
Tonye built Sprout for his own daughter and son, two and four at the time. He wanted something that would not shout, flash or nag, and that told him what they had actually done. That is still the whole brief.
No ads, nothing sold
No advertising, no ad analytics, no selling family information. No microphone, camera or location access.
A grown-up gate
The grown-ups corner and any link that leaves the app sit behind a quick addition question.
Children stay anonymous
The account belongs to a grown-up. Children pick a nickname and a friend, and each explorer keeps their own pace. Start with one explorer; Sprout Complete supports up to eight.
Calm by default
Reduced motion follows your device setting or a switch in the app. Every learning screen has a mute button.
Progress shows adventures, first-try answers and streaks. It never claims mastery.

Start free with one explorer, the first lesson in each learning area, original stories and limited practice. Sprout Complete is a one-time purchase that unlocks the full learning library and practice, up to eight explorers and the printable learning journal.

Inside the app
Learn at their pace
Letters, sounds, numbers, guided writing and read-aloud stories support small discoveries with a grown-up nearby. Each explorer keeps their own learning journey.
Family progress and access
A grown-up signs in to keep family progress synced across devices. Start with the free learning selection, then choose the one-time Sprout Complete upgrade for the full library, practice, eight explorers and the journal. Purchases stay behind the grown-up gate.

A React and TypeScript learning app with native mobile shells. Convex stores family learning progress, Clerk handles grown-up accounts, and RevenueCat manages verified purchase access.
