LETTER SOUNDS FUN
Phonics was endorsed by the US National Reading Panel in 2000 as a key part of teaching children to read. Simply put, phonics is about helping children sound out words when reading by understanding the sounds that letters make.

PocketPhonics Lite teaches six letter sounds. The rest are covered in the full version including 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.

LETTER WRITING WITH FINGERS
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. The Lite version provides a taster of this for the first six letters.

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

FIRST WORDS
Using a unique, letter sounds and words game, the full PocketPhonics teaches how to sound out and spell over 170 frequently-used words. There’s about 20 words in the Lite version.

HOW IT WAS DESIGNED
This application was designed and reviewed by teachers who use phonics to teach children to read. Even the order letters are introduced in is based around best educational practice.
