CambriLearn practice at home, between lessons
If your child is enrolled in CambriLearn, the week between lessons is exactly when reading skill either compounds or goes quiet. Word Safari gives that gap something to do.
Word Safari is an independent app, not a CambriLearn product, partner or affiliate. Its English track is aligned to the public Cambridge stage names, Early Years B through Primary Stage 6, that CambriLearn also teaches to.
The gap a weekly course leaves behind
A course that meets once a week is built around the assumption that a child also practises in between, and CambriLearn does not ship its own companion practice app for that in-between time.
That's the actual gap this page is about: not replacing what CambriLearn teaches, but giving a child something to do with it on the other five or six days. Word Safari's English content is mapped to the same public Cambridge stage names, from Cambridge Early Years B through Cambridge Primary Stage 6, so a parent can line the app up with wherever their child's course has already got to, then let them play.
None of this makes Word Safari a CambriLearn product. It is built independently, aligned to the same publicly named framework, with no partnership, endorsement or shared data between the two.
Enough content that a weekly habit does not run dry
Real counts from the app's own content, not marketing round numbers.
Hand-curated across 7 phonics tiers, from first CVC words to Grade 6 vocabulary.
Named against the Cambridge stage ladder, Early Years B through Primary Stage 6.
Single letters to digraphs and trigraphs, introduced in a proven phonics order.
Little books that only use words a child can already sound out at their stage.
Nine reading games and three spelling modes, so a week of play never repeats itself.
How a parent lines it up
Start with whatever CambriLearn stage your child's course has already reached, and open the matching stage inside Word Safari, or skip that step entirely and let the built-in 2-minute placement find it for you. See how that placement works on the placement page. After that, a child plays at their own pace between lessons, no schedule required.
In practice that tends to look like:
- Sign up with just an email address and add a kid profile, a nickname and an optional birth year.
- Let the placement play run once, or pick the stage yourself if you already know it.
- Leave the app on your child's own device and let them open it whenever they have a spare ten minutes, the days CambriLearn isn't in session.
There is no streak to keep up and no daily quota to hit. The point is to make picking up a book, or a game that behaves like one, the easy option on an ordinary Tuesday, not something that needs a parent to schedule it.
Independent, by design
Because "CambriLearn" and "Cambridge" both appear on this page, it is worth being direct about what that does and doesn't mean. Word Safari's English content is aligned to the public Cambridge stage names, the same names CambriLearn's own course teaches to, so a parent can match content by stage rather than by guesswork. That is the whole connection. There is no shared login, no data passed between the two, and no arrangement that makes Word Safari an official, endorsed, accredited or partner product of CambriLearn or of Cambridge.

Questions parents ask
Is Word Safari affiliated with CambriLearn?
No. Word Safari is an independent app with no partnership, endorsement or data-sharing relationship with CambriLearn. Its English content is aligned to the same public Cambridge stage names CambriLearn also teaches to, which is the full extent of the connection.
Will this replace CambriLearn lessons?
No, and it isn't built to. Word Safari is practice alongside a course like CambriLearn, for the days between lessons, not instead of the lessons themselves.
