Ages 2–8 · 5 words a day · 520 talking cards, 12 games, a read-aloud story — free, no login
You don’t need a curriculum, a printout, or a clinical vocabulary. Little Words hands you five words a day, says each one out loud, and tells you — in plain words — exactly what to do. On your phone, in the minutes you actually have.

Every card, game, and story has a three-position level dial: word → phrase → sentence. Your two-year-old hears “sun.” Your five-year-old hears “The sun is shining in the sky.” Same pictures, same app, language that keeps up — so nothing gets outgrown in a month.
Keep it tiny and out loud. Open parent mode, and Little Words picks five words for today. Tap a card, let it say the word, and have your child say it back — that’s the whole exercise. Two minutes on the couch counts. Every card includes a plain-language prompt that tells you exactly what to say next.
The cards carry that for you. Each one plays a clear recording of its word, and the parent prompt spells out the move in plain words — like “stretch the snake sound: sss—sun.” You never need to know clinical terms to run a good practice minute.
Play instead. All 12 speech games run on the same word decks — your child can ride the bus, launch a rocket, feed a monster, or dig for treasure, and every move reveals a talking card. Story time works too: Buddy’s Beach Day hides practice words in every scene. Same practice, zero worksheet feeling.
The flashcards, all 12 games, and Buddy’s Beach Day are free in your browser — no login, no trial clock, nothing locked mid-activity. Paid plans exist to fund a growing library, not to wall off the basics.
No. Little Words is home practice — the reps between real conversations with professionals. If you’re worried about your child’s speech, a licensed speech-language pathologist can evaluate properly. What we can do is make the practicing part feel like play.
The record button is for instant playback only: your child records a try, hears it back, and it’s gone when you close the page. Nothing is uploaded, saved, or sent anywhere.
