Phonics Trainer Tool Overview
Your Child Can Learn to Read Before Kindergarten
Build early reading skills at home with real phonics practice!
The Phonics Factory membership gives your child access to a full set of tools designed for real reading progress — and at the center is our flagship Phonics Trainer. This interactive phonics tool lets kids hear individual sounds, blend letters, and explore phonics patterns found in real words, creating meaningful phonics practice that builds lasting confidence.
Whether your child is in preschool, or kindergarten, this interactive tool makes phonics simple and effective.
What Makes Our Phonics Trainer Different
Most “learning games” are focused on entertainment and fail to teach real reading skills. Lotty Learns uses our exclusive SoundPlay™ technology to help kids interact with words in an intuitive way.

Slider that lights up each letter to visualize blending
Tap to hear word read aloud
Promotes word exploration for deeper understanding

Kids aren’t guessing. They’re interacting with real words — the way phonics should be taught. No gimicks. Just calm, focused learning.
Key Reading Skills Your Child Will Develop

✔ CCVC words

Not sure how to teach phonics at home?
The Phonics Trainer makes it simple! No prep, no pressure, just real word practice.
Step-by-Step Phonics Practice
Step 1 Tap
Try reading the word first, then tap each letter or digraph to hear its sound.
Step 2 Blend
Try putting the sounds of each letter together as you slide your finger across the bar.
Step 3 Read
Try saying the word on your own, then tap the play button to hear it and see if you were right.
Our Simple Design is Backed by Research
Many learning apps rely on gamification to keep kids clicking—resulting in visual overload, endless reward loops, and overstimulating design. These systems spark dopamine responses—but research shows they can actually make it harder for kids to focus and retain what they’ve learned.
That’s why our Phonics Trainer keeps things simple!
Kids interact directly with real words—nothing more, nothing less. Every click supports focus, not distraction. It’s clean, calm, and built for true learning.
Designed for Early Reading Success
Whether your child is just starting to learn letter sounds or already recognizing simple words, the Phonics Trainer helps build real reading skills from the ground up.
The Phonics Trainer is ideal for:
Parents who want their child reading before kindergarten
Preschoolers ready to move beyond the alphabet
Pre-K and Kindergarten kids who need more than letter drills
Homeschoolers looking for a focused, structured phonics approach
It’s not a game. It’s a better way to help your child understand how reading works — and feel proud doing it.
