Phonics Games

Designed for beginning readers, each of the 6 games emphasise different reading skills. Kids learn to read, hear, write and remember the single sounds and then use them to blend the letters to read words, hear the sounds in them and then spell them.

Understanding language, learning sight words and learning how sounds make words through a structured phonics program are proven to be the best ways for kids to learn to read. Research is telling us that 10 to 15 minutes per day spent on a structured phonics program seems to be optimal. If your child is ready to learn to read then aim to have them complete one level per day of this app to provide this experience.
This is a complete structured approach to teaching beginning phonics. When it is completed children should be able to read, write and spell simple words such as cat and fan, and blends such as brush and hang. There are over 150 images and 500 words to practise on. (For teachers this translates as covering cvc, ccvc, ccvcc, cccvcc)
