We were very impressed with the level of engagement displayed by our students. Students loved getting on Squiggle Park and playing the games. Their learning was evidenced not only within the data provided by Squiggle Park but in mid-year assessments. All students showed growth in their proficiency with letters, sounds, and sight-word recognition.

Frequently Asked Questions

The game has been funded by the Usborne Foundation, a charity set up to support initiatives to develop early literacy.

Our mission is to help as many children learn to read as possible. The computer version is 100% free and we put profits from the app back into the Usborne Foundation, to continue to create new and exciting ways for children to learn.

The charity was founded by Peter Usborne MBE and his children, Nicola and Martin, one of the world's leading children's book publishing companies and Children's Publisher of the Year 2012. He was previously one of the founders of the magazine Private Eye.

The game is for children in the first stages of learning to read, or for older children who need a bit more practice. Read more details about the three games.

The game takes children on a magical journey, meeting colourful characters along the way and collecting fantastic rewards. When children are engaged, they're motivated to learn.

As they progress, they rehearse a range of essential reading skills; matching letters to sounds, blending, segmenting, tricky words and reading full sentences.

Find out exactly what the game covers.

The game runs on any normal laptop or desktop computer (including Apple Macs) and the app works on iPhone, iPad, Android and Kindle tablets.
