====================================

THREE-APPS-IN-ONE

- Letter sounds
- Letter writing practice
- 170 first words

And, unusually for this type of app, there’s a FREE version (“PocketPhonics Lite”), so you can try before you buy. So, no need to worry about buying something the kids never use.

LETTER SOUNDS
Simply put, phonics (letter sounds) is about helping children learn to read by understanding the sounds that letters make.

PocketPhonics teaches the letter sounds for all the letters in the alphabet. It also teaches over 30 letters sounds that come from combining letters together (like “sh” and “ch”), because they are key to reading so many frequently-used words. Most apps only teach A to Z.

LETTER WRITING
PocketPhonics visually demonstrates how to write each letter. An obvious thing to do, but quite tricky to program (no other iPhone app does this).

Children enjoy practising their writing by tracing the letter with their finger; with a shake they can erase their old writing and try again.

An option under the PocketPhonic’s Settings screen allows you to choose between cursive, lowercase and uppercase letters.

170 FIRST WORDS
Using a unique, "letter sounds make words" spelling game, children learn how to sound out and spell over 170 frequently-used words.

There’s nothing else like it on the App Store.

HOW IT WAS DESIGNED
This application was designed and reviewed by teachers who use phonics to teach children to read. It is based around best educational practice.
