How it works

  1. Skip what they already know

    A quick screening pass sorts the course, so practice time goes to the words your child actually needs.

  2. Practice a little every day

    Each session is sized to about 15 minutes: choose the meaning, match the definition, then type the word from memory once it starts to stick.

  3. Review at the right moment

    Every answer is saved. Words come back after a day, then a few days, then weeks — and sooner when they were missed.

Built for how kids learn words

Hear every word

Tap the speaker for the word, its meaning, or an example sentence. After a miss, the correction is read aloud before moving on.

Real sentences, not just definitions

Each word comes with kid-friendly example sentences, plus word-part notes where they help a word make sense.

Honest progress

See which words are learning, reviewing, already known, or mastered — and how many minutes were practiced each day this week.

Shape words, taught with pictures

Quadrilateral, perpendicular, isosceles: 33 geometry terms taught with figures a child can see.

Who it's for

Getting ready for the Elementary SSAT

Students in grades 3 and 4 heading into the verbal section, with a few months — not years — to build a much bigger vocabulary.

Busy families who want a daily habit

No flashcards to make and no word lists to pick from. Open it, press start, and the app decides what is due today.

Strong listeners, still-growing readers

Kids who know lots of words by ear but stumble over them in print. Every word, meaning, and example can be read aloud.

Curious readers beyond the test

Upper-elementary readers who want the words that keep showing up in chapter books, class reading, and school tests.

For grown-ups

  • A parent or guardian signs in with their own Google account — please don't have your child use their own. Each account keeps its own history and sees only its own progress.
  • Starflight keeps the account's Google address and learning history — no names, no photos, no ads. You can download it any time or ask us to delete it.
  • Which word comes next is decided by fixed, tested rules, not guesswork.
