SupportForge
Your reading supports, and how to ask for them. Have text read aloud with the words lit up, break long words into their parts, see where a word splits into beats, and read one line at a time. Learn what extended time, audio books and notes-ahead actually are, which tools have real evidence behind them (and which don’t), then build and rehearse the words to ask a teacher or a manager. Ages 15–18.

Meet the cast
SupportForge is for ages 15–18: its cast are realistic near-peers, no illustrated portraits, no audio drama. Each one embodies one reading tool, one accommodation, or one way of asking for it — June listens while she reads, Oren splits long words into their parts, Callie reads a line at a time, Imani chunks a chapter, Rafe asks for extra time before the test, Siobhan asks for audio books, Keanu asks for the slides ahead, Ezra tests each tool and keeps what works, Dessa makes one specific ask of a teacher, and Kenji asks his first manager for another way in. Mentor Mireille explains what each support is and how to ask — and never labels anyone. Nothing leaves the device.
June
Listens while she reads with the words lit up — her eyes and ears stay on the same word, so she keeps the ideas of a long page
Oren
Breaks a long word into prefix, root and suffix — de + compos + ition — so a word he has never seen tells him what it means
Callie
Reads one line at a time with everything else dimmed, so a crowded page stops swimming
Imani
Splits a long chapter into short sections and asks one question of each before moving on
Rafe
Asks for extended time early and in writing — before the test, never after the grade
Siobhan
Asks for her textbooks as audio, so the reading keeps up with the rest of the class
Keanu
Asks for the slides before class, so he can listen instead of copying
Ezra
Tests each tool on himself and keeps only what helps — the voice stays, the special font goes
Dessa
Asks her teacher for one specific support, which is far easier to say yes to than a general plea for help
Kenji
Asks his first manager for another way to learn a long manual, framed around doing the job well
Mireille
A school learning-support coordinator who explains what each accommodation is and how to ask for it — and never tells anyone what they are

How SupportForge handles your kid's data
- ✅ All progress, settings, and AI-generated content stays on the device
- ✅ No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs
- ✅ Free — no ads, no in-app purchases
- ✅ No personal information collected from children — in line with COPPA (updated by the 2026 FTC amendments)
- ✅ No chat with strangers — play-together rooms use a short code and preset emotes, never typed messages
