No More Tricky Words for Dyslexic Brains. Sight Words Done Differently, Because We Learn Differently

Updated: Jul 2

Dyslexic learners are often told to memorise high frequency words (often referred to as sight words) and they are called 'tricky words', but this approach ignores how their brains process language. At the heart of reading and spelling difficulties lies a challenge with phonemic awareness. Hearing speech sounds and mapping them to graphemes is incredibly hard when the connections are not made visible.

MyWordz® makes the code visible. It is powered by the world’s first algorithm that can map every English word. From speech to print. From print to speech. Instantly.

When Phonics Doesn’t Click, Just Click. The Code Shown, Every Word Known. No More Tricky Words!

With MyWordz®, children can:

🎤 Say a word into the microphone and see the spelling, with letters clearly mapped to sounds using Phonemies®.

Say the word to see the spelling

❓ Not sure how to say the word? You can also type it into Check Mapping to see the structure, including both graphemes and phonemes.

⌨️ Type the sounds they hear into MySpeekie® to check if their brain has stored the correct phoneme sequence. This supports real orthographic learning without guessing or memorising.

🧩 Then open Map and Drag, choose the correct Phonemies, and build the word. Add it to your No Longer Tricky word mapping book – your personal speech sound dictionary.

When children don’t learn in the way taught in synthetic phonics programmes, change the programme or add this one. Include every learner.

Most phonics programmes teach around 100 core grapheme–phoneme correspondences and stop there. MyWordz® shows the full code. It supports decoding, encoding, and self-teaching – the foundation of skilled reading.

Every brain deserves access to the whole code of English. Right?

Every child would say yes to phonics being easier to understand! No more tricky words...
