Structured literacy, built by a teacher.

Word Labs is a browser-based structured literacy platform for Years 2–6, built by a practising NSW primary teacher. It gives your students 13 evidence-based activities across phonics, morphology and spelling, and your teachers a real-time dashboard plus 321 ready-to-project teaching slide decks — all aligned to the NSW English K–10 Syllabus.

One platform, two audiences.

Students practise. Teachers teach, monitor, and intervene. Same data flows between them in real time — no exports, no extra admin.

What your students do

Students practise phonological, orthographic, and morphological knowledge through 13 gamified activities — Morpheme Builder, Breakdown Blitz, Phoneme Splitter, Syllable Splitter, Sound Sorter, Meaning Match-Up, Mission Mode, Root Lab, Word Spectrum, The Refinery, Homophone Hunter, Flashcards, and Speed Builder. Each activity targets a specific skill that transfers directly to spelling accuracy and reading comprehension.

Built for Australian schools.

Word Labs is designed by a practising NSW primary teacher to meet the compliance, data sovereignty, and syllabus alignment requirements of Australian primary schools.

Data sovereignty

All student data is stored in Australia, in Supabase's Sydney data centre (ap-southeast-2). No student data ever leaves the country. Privacy Act 1988 compliant, aligned to the Australian Privacy Principles and the NSW PPIP Act.

NSW syllabus aligned

Directly mapped to the NSW English K–10 Syllabus Stage 2 and Stage 3 spelling outcomes, the Australian Curriculum v9.0, and the NSW Literacy Continuum. Built around explicit instruction and structured literacy research.

Built by a teacher

Word Labs is designed, built, and maintained by Nicholas Deeney, a practising NSW public primary school teacher. Not a retrofit of a commercial product — every activity reflects what works in a real classroom.
