What your child practises
Read with Wiz
Words light up as they’re read, and any word can be tapped to hear it again.
What happens next?
Predicting is a key reading skill, and every guess is welcome.
Choose your path
Stories with several endings to find.
Change the ending
“What if Spark was hiding to surprise Ember?”
Make your own story
Pick a hero, a place, a problem and a helper, and Wiz tells the story.
Questions as you read
Checks understanding, not just reading the words.
How Whyzies teaches it
- Stories are written for ages 4–7 and 6–10, with science, mystery, robots and adventure.
- Four stories and the story builder are free. Whyzies Plus adds the full library, including Sam the Seed, Robot Rudi, Lerato and the Rain and Space Snack Attack.
- Right answers earn coins and food for Wiz, and finding every ending earns a special sticker.
Try it at home
- Pause during bedtime stories and ask “what do you think happens next?”
- After a story, ask how a character felt and why.
- Let your child make up a different ending to a favourite book.
- Older children can read a page to you, then let Wiz read the next one.
