LullaLearn is a single-page workshop of 35 interactive tools built for the messy, real way small kids pick up English — phonics mouth-position diagrams, IPA pronunciation trainer with slow-playback, sight-word spaced repetition that remembers what your child knows, printable bingo and tracing worksheets, plus daily-vocabulary scenes for routine, weather, family, and feelings. Every tool runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, nothing requires an account.
Pick a tool below that matches what your child is working on this week. Each tool has a How to use block, What it solves, Tips & limits, and a short FAQ. Your child's progress in the spaced-repetition tool saves only on this device — nothing leaves your browser. For a quiet start, try Pronunciation Lab, Sight-Word SRS, and Bingo Generator.
Most phonics pages just play a sound. This one shows you where the tongue, lips, and teeth go, marks the sound as voiced or voiceless, and lets you compare minimal pairs (words that differ by one sound) so your child can hear the difference that matters.
What it solves: Kids often hear "ship" and "sheep" as the same word. Comparing them side-by-side with mouth diagrams and audio makes the difference visible and repeatable.
How to use: Pick a sound, tap the speaker, then tap pair-with. Ask the child to copy your mouth shape in a mirror.
Limits: The mouth diagrams are simplified SVG — useful for orientation, not a substitute for a speech therapist. If your child consistently misses certain sounds past age 4, see a professional.
A canvas that draws the letter as a guided dotted path the child can trace with a finger, stylus, or mouse. Switch between uppercase, lowercase, and cursive. Toggle the guide on or off once they're confident, then save as PNG to print a portfolio page.
Works on touch devices — let your child trace with their finger on a tablet.
Pencil grip matters more than accuracy at this age. Don't correct every wobble; praise starting at the top, going down, lifting the pencil.
Limits: The stroke-order guide is a simple line, not a full handwriting curriculum. For dysgraphia or persistent reversals past age 6, consult an occupational therapist.
Uses the browser's Web Speech API to speak a word at three speeds (slow, normal, fast), break it into color-coded syllables, show the IPA, and — where supported — let your child record themselves and play it back for self-comparison.
Q: Why does my voice sound different? Browser speech synthesis uses your operating system's voice — quality varies. Safari and Chrome typically have the most natural voices.
Q: Recording doesn't work on my device? Microphone access requires HTTPS and is browser-restricted. iOS Safari is the most restrictive.
Limits: This is a practice mirror, not a speech-therapy tool. Kids with persistent pronunciation difficulties past age 5 should see an SLP.
A real SM-2 algorithm (the same family Anki uses) tracks every word your child sees and brings the hard ones back sooner. Progress is saved in your browser's localStorage — never sent anywhere. Preset lists: Dolch Pre-K, Dolch K, Fry first 100.
Each word has an ease factor and an interval. A "Don't know" resets it to 1 day with a low ease. A "Good" multiplies the interval by the ease. A "Hard" mostly holds the interval. "Easy" grows it faster. Words you've never seen are scheduled for today; words you know are spaced out to weeks.
Limits: Spaced repetition helps memory; it doesn't teach the word the first time. Pair with a reading book or phonics session.
Tap a number and watch it appear as grouped dots in 5s and 10s — that's subitizing, the foundation of math sense. Switch to skip counting by 2, 5, or 10 for kindergarteners ready to extend.
What it solves: Children who only learn to recite "1-2-3-4" can confuse 12 with 20. Visual grouping helps them see quantities, not just sequence them.
Limits: Useful up to about age 6. Beyond that, mental math and written arithmetic take over.
Filter by origin, meaning, length, or starting letter. Each result shows phonetic pronunciation, the meaning in plain English, and a nickname suggestion. Useful for second-language families picking an English name.
The list is curated for sound + meaning, not popularity ranking. Trend data isn't shown because it's not reliable.
Filter animals by habitat (farm, jungle, ocean, pets, bugs). Each entry pairs the animal name with the onomatopoeia English uses — "moo", "ribbit", "woof" — and a kid-friendly action verb combo: "The dog runs."
Q: Why not use real animal photos? Copyrighted photos can't be safely embedded; emoji icons stay readable and free.
Q: Why include "sound" words? Onomatopoeia is one of the fastest ways a toddler remembers a word — they hear "ribbit" and own "frog" forever.
Pick or mix any color and get its English name, IPA pronunciation, and a suggested tint/shade family. Toggle a color-blindness simulation to see how the same color looks to others.
Click a palette preset below for kid-friendly starter colors.
Each shape comes with a "find it in your room" prompt (a clock is a circle), a vertices/sides/edges counter, and a printable outline you can hand your child to spot at home.
Tap a body part on the kid-figure to hear its English name. Toggle Simon-says mode to play a movement game: "Touch your knees!", "Wave your hands!". Plural-aware: eye → eyes, foot → feet.
Tap Add person, fill in their relationship (mother, uncle, cousin…), and watch the family map grow. Includes the kinship terms English actually uses (we don't have one word for "older cousin" — we say "older cousin").
Drag English activities to time slots. Get sentence starters for each slot: "I wake up at 7.", "I eat breakfast at 8.", "I go to bed at 9." Print the finished schedule as a fridge poster.

A simplified Plutchik wheel with 8 core emotions and 24 synonyms. Tap an emotion to get the word, a sentence frame ("I feel ___ because ___."), and a friendly face.
Filter by land, water, air, space. Each vehicle shows its onomatopoeia (vroom, splash, whoosh) and a speed comparison chart vs. others in its category.
A draggable object, a drop zone, and 12 prepositions: in, on, under, next to, behind, between, in front of, above, below, inside, outside, around. The tool says the sentence aloud and checks your drop position visually.
Drag the cat across the scene and read the sentence out loud.

A two-sided gradient slider. Move from hot to cold while seeing the emoji and hearing the word. 30 pairs across size, temperature, speed, emotion, light.
8 rules: add -s, -es, change -y → -ies, -f → -ves, irregulars (child → children), and the pronunciation of the ending sound (/s/ /z/ /ɪz/).
Tap what / where / when / why / how / who / which. Each opens example questions, the answer type it expects, and a sentence pattern: "What is this?" → "It is a ___."
Pick a story genre (fairy tale / animal adventure / bedtime lullaby). Get a starter sentence and a bank of recurring vocabulary (once upon a time, the end, snuggle, dream) you can rehearse before reading aloud.
Real situations, real phrases. Formal vs. casual toggle. Each scenario includes what to say AND what the typical response is, so your child learns the social pair, not just the line.
Enter a word, get a list of rhyming baby-vocabulary words. Built for short-vowel endings (-at, -og, -un) that preschool books lean on. Includes a "make a 2-line poem" button.
Choose a word list, pick a grid size (3×3 / 4×4 / 5×5), generate a unique card. Printable for offline play. Includes a randomized call list so one parent can call while the others play.
Each letter shows initial-position, medial, and final example words. A is for apple (initial), cat (medial), says "ah" (final). Includes an alliteration sentence.
Vowel teams are tricky because the same letters make different sounds. ea: eat vs. head. The tool groups words by sound and shows you the rule.
Blend + vowel + blend = a word. Pick a beginning blend (bl, cr, st…) and an ending blend (ock, ash, ing…) and the tool builds the word — and tells you if it's a real English word or a nonsense word.
English yes/no questions have a rising pitch at the end. The tool draws a pitch contour and lets your child hear the difference between a statement and a question with the same words.
Type a word and see it broken into syllables (ti-ger) with a rhythm bar chart and the stressed syllable highlighted. Helps kids hear the beat in longer words before they try to read them.
Try: animal, telephone, banana, hippopotamus. The stress pattern is shown by the height of the bars.
If you only have time for two today: Pronunciation Lab (to hear the words) and Sight-Word SRS (to remember them). Printables are in Bingo, Tracing, and Routine Timeline.
