Wordie

Wordie helps elementary students (grades 1–6) build lasting vocabulary through a science-backed approach combining personalized AI-generated articles, sentence composition, and parent review. Rather than relying on quizzes, children read short stories matched to their reading level, write sentences using target words, and receive parent feedback before words advance.

The app uses spaced repetition to resurface words at scientifically timed intervals—typically on days 1, 3, 5, and 7—moving them from short-term to permanent memory. Parents maintain full control, reviewing every sentence before marking words as mastered. The maker built it with AI assistance to address gaps in existing vocabulary apps, particularly the lack of meaningful usage practice and memory retention tracking.
