Make practice worth coming back to

Spraoi brings two learning games into one household product. Litriú turns weekly Irish and English spelling practice into stars, clothes and a runway. The Zoo turns maths practice into keeper jobs, coins, animals and habitats.

The child sees a game they can run themselves. A parent prepares the week, checks the words and can see how the practice is going.

A complete learning loop

Spelling moves from building a word with tiles, through prompts, to recall from memory. Practice prioritises words that need more work, with a Thursday test and a bonus round for older words.

Maths jobs cover doubles and tables, money and change, clocks, place value, sharing and sums. Difficulty adapts by skill. The reward is visible in the zoo, so practice has a purpose beyond a score.

Irish audio needed a product decision

A generic text-to-speech assumption was not enough for Irish spelling. Parents can record the Irish words in their own voice; English words can use the device’s speech support. Homework can be imported and checked before it becomes a practice week.

The parent workload matters as much as the child experience. Marking tricky letters and reusing weekly material keeps preparation connected to the school work already coming home.

Family access, without child accounts

Parents share a household through invites. A child’s tablet uses a one-time setup code, with access to that child’s practice and progress. It does not need a child email account or access to the parent settings.

The app supports offline use and progress across devices. Earned rewards are retained: mistakes guide the next practice rather than taking earned stars away.

Where it stands

Spraoi is live and invite-only. The parent and child flows are working within a household product. The screens above demonstrate the app with a fictional family and sample spelling words.
