Why comprehension matters as much as decoding
Being able to read the words on a page is only half of reading. Comprehension — understanding what a text means, inferring what isn't directly stated, building vocabulary in context — is the skill that KS2 SATs reading papers actually test, and it's the skill many reading apps skip entirely in favour of simple phonics decoding.
36 original stories, adapted to your child
The Pocket Money Game includes 36 original stories written specifically for the game, spanning a range of reading levels from early KS1 through to upper KS2. Each story comes with comprehension questions covering literal recall, inference, and vocabulary in context — the same skill types tested in national reading assessments.
Reading practice that doesn't feel like a test
Reading comprehension homework often feels like exactly that — homework. By linking correct answers to real pocket money, reading practice becomes something a child chooses to do rather than something they're made to do. The stories themselves are written to be genuinely engaging, not just functional.
