Now with Syllable Slicer
Orton-Gillingham games your child will actually ask to play
ReadGenie turns structured OG practice into short daily games. Pattern hunts, sound tiles, and syllable work that build real decoding skills, not just points.
Pattern Hunt: your child listens for a target sound, then hunts for words that contain it. Sound-symbol practice, hiding inside a word search.
WHY STRUCTURE MATTERS
Games alone aren’t Orton-Gillingham
A word search is only practice if your child is decoding, not just matching shapes
Points and streaks don’t teach sound-letter patterns. Instruction does.
OG works because it’s structured, sequential, and cumulative. Random games aren’t.
The trick isn’t choosing between games and structure. It’s putting the game inside the structure.
HOW EACH LESSON WORKS
Every game sits inside a real OG lesson
Your child isn’t playing random phonics games. Each game practices the exact skill their lesson just taught, in the same order a trained OG tutor would follow. Here’s what that looks like on a phone.
Sound by sound
Then the whole word
Then real reading
Games between lessons
THE GAMES
A look inside some of the games
Pattern Hunt
Your child hears a target sound, then hunts the grid for words that contain it. Every find means they listened, decoded, and matched sound to spelling. That’s the core loop of OG practice.
Practices: phonemic awareness · sound-symbol correspondence · decoding
Sound Tiles
Each word is split into tiles. Your child says one sound at a time while ReadGenie listens and checks it, then blends the sounds and reads the whole word out loud.
Practices: sound-symbol correspondence · blending · decoding
Syllable Slicer
Longer words stop being scary when your child can chop them into syllables. Slice words apart, spot the syllable types, and read each chunk.
Practices: syllable division · syllable types · multisyllable decoding
Tile Quest
A word board game your child plays against a friendly owl. They build words from letter tiles, then read the owl’s words back, so every turn mixes spelling and reading.
Practices: spelling · decoding · word building
Hangman
Your child hears a clue, then picks letters to fill in the word before the guesses run out. Each right letter means they matched a sound to its spelling.
Practices: sound-symbol correspondence · spelling · word recognition
Missing Letter Detective
Each word is missing a sound. Your child shines a flashlight on the gap, listens, and picks the spelling that fits, like ar in bookmark.
Practices: vowel patterns · spelling choices · decoding
Build-a-Word
Your child hears a word, then picks its sounds off the conveyor belt in order while a claw drops each tile into place. Spelling becomes something they build, one sound at a time.
Practices: segmenting · spelling · word building
And it’s not just games. Games are one part of a full lesson, alongside explicit instruction, guided reading, spelling practice, and decodable passages with real-time feedback.

THE STRUCTURE
The structure underneath the fun
Every ReadGenie game runs on the same principles a trained Orton-Gillingham tutor follows.
Multisensory
Your child sees it, hears it, says it, and builds it. Every pattern gets practiced through more than one sense.
Designed with dyslexia educators
Built with input from OG tutors, literacy specialists, and families who support dyslexic readers.
RESEARCH-BACKED PRACTICE
Research-backed practice
Dyslexia makes it harder for children to connect sounds, letters, and words automatically. ReadGenie gives them short, guided practice in the skills that support stronger reading, spelling, and fluency.
THE RESEARCH
Dyslexic readers need explicit, structured practice
How ReadGenie applies it
Audio Flashcards and the Phoneme Word Slicer give your child explicit, step-by-step practice with each sound.
THE RESEARCH
Sounds need to connect to letters
How ReadGenie applies it
ReadGenie combines phonics, decoding, spelling, and writing practice so kids work with the same sound-letter patterns in multiple ways.
THE RESEARCH
Reading fluency grows through guided practice
How ReadGenie applies it
ReadGenie gives kids short daily sessions with word reading, decodable passages, and fluency practice.
ReadGenie brings these principles into focused practice your child can actually complete.
