The goal is simple: free kids to write what they're actually thinking. To use the vocabulary they have. To express themselves without the tax of wondering whether the word looks right.

The system was built for a particular kind of learner. Many children don't fit — not because they can't learn, but because nobody gave them the right structure at the right time.

There's plenty out there for younger kids. But by Year 4, 5, 6 — students don't want babyish phonics tools. They want something that respects their intelligence. There was nothing built for them. Not at this age. Not like this.

The kid isn't broken. The conditions were just wrong.

Oh. That's why it's a bommie — a hidden reef that creates the perfect wave. It was always there, waiting for the right conditions.

A student, Year 7 · on understanding what bomm•ee means

01They choose shorter words because they can't risk the spelling
02They write smaller so mistakes are harder to see
03You've tried everything. Something still isn't landing.
04The weekly tutor session isn't moving the needle — because once a week isn't how brains build habits

The method

Little and often.
That's the whole thing.

Not an hour on the weekend. Ten minutes a day. The research is unambiguous: frequency beats duration, every time. Six words per session. Seven steps to make each one stick.

Step 01

Crack the code

Each session opens with the pack's spelling rule — shown as a visual memory hook, not a list to memorise. Kids find the pattern themselves, with AI helping them decode it.

Steps 02–04

Hear it, see it, write it

Each word is heard, seen, written in the air, and then written by hand on paper. Each step engages a different cognitive pathway — that's what makes it stay.

Steps 05–06

Type it, use it

Type the word, then use it — in a sentence or a story. The AI quietly notices patterns, without ever flagging errors to the student. Learning without the sting.

Step 07

Earn your waves

After each session, students earn waves — the in-app currency. Spend them on games: hangman, anagrams, word builder, word search. Fun that quietly locks the spelling in deeper.

"Little and often — that's how you get there."

Why it works

The science of spelling is settled. We just built the product.

Structured literacy is built on decades of research — and continuously refined with new findings we actively integrate. The methodology is explicit, systematic, and sequenced. It produces measurable gains for all learners, with particularly transformative results for those with dyslexia.

The gap was never in the science. It was in the delivery.

97%

of English words follow learnable phonetic patterns

pattern packs, sequenced for maximum retention

minutes — the proven optimal session length

words per session — the evidence-based magic number

Yr 4–9

The window when structured intervention delivers the highest lifetime return. Not too late. Never babyish. Exactly right.

Ten minutes is enough. Exactly.

Spaced, daily practice outperforms longer, infrequent sessions. The arc is calibrated to the working memory of a 9–14 year old — and compelling enough that they want to come back.

Systematic beats holistic, every time

English spelling follows rules. bomm•ee teaches those rules, in sequence, with the visual memory hook that makes each one retrievable under pressure — in an exam, in an essay, mid-thought.

Compounding is slow, then it isn't

Parents who stay consistent through the first few weeks report breakthroughs that feel sudden — but aren't. The structure was building the whole time. The wave just needed the conditions.

What parents say

The moment it changes.

These aren't reviews. They're the messages parents sent when they wanted to tell someone what just happened.

"She asked if she could do another session. That sentence. After three years of homework tears, that sentence. I cried in the kitchen."

"He used to avoid writing at school. Now he's helping his younger sister spell words. I honestly didn't know this version of him existed."

Your role

Amy, Founder

Margaret River, Western Australia

"She built it because of dyslexia, not despite it."

Margaret River, WA

The origin

Built at a kitchen table, for one child.

The founder built the first version of bomm•ee for her own daughter. Not because no products existed. Because none of them were right for a child like hers — a child who understood far more than she could comfortably write, and who deserved something built for her age, her intelligence, and her actual experience of spelling.

Amy is dyslexic herself. She's a serial founder—tourism infrastructure in Africa, climate tech, charitable work—driven by one pattern: spotting structural gaps and building solutions from the ground up. That instinct led her to notice what the entire edtech industry had missed. She didn't build bomm•ee despite her dyslexia. She built it because of it.

A bommie is a submerged reef — invisible from the surface, but the reason a great wave forms at all. Seven children aged nine to thirteen from the South West of Western Australia gave the product its name. It had to pass one test: would I actually use this. It passed. Unanimously. Twice.
