Phonics to Vocabulary explores playful, inclusive approaches for low literacy learners, inspired by the idea that language shapes thought. Founded in 2015, Mrs Wordsmith began with acclaimed print resources before creating educational video games to close the word gap through fun, purposeful content. Led by education expert Jo Jackson, the team combines classroom experience with research driven design. Their challenge is to unite education and entertainment without compromise, using humour and striking visuals. Grounded in systematic phonics and rich vocabulary development, their predictable, multisensory games feature relatable characters and evidence based digital tools to deepen learning in accessible, low pressure environments.
