Phonics

Made for ages 4–7 (pre-K to 1st grade). The games are numbered in the order children learn phonics, so start at 1 and follow the path; nothing is locked, so you can also jump to what your child is working on. Pip reads every question aloud, so turn the sound on. A miss never ends a round: your child tries again until they get it, and earns a ⭐ for each first-try answer. Every finished game gives a sticker.

1. Letter Sounds: seven short lessons teach all 26 letters, four at a time, in the order most schools use (s a t p first, not a-b-c) so children can read real words like tap after lesson one. Letter Pop reviews all 26, and Big and Small matches capital letters to small ones.
2. Sounds in Words: hearing the first and last sound of a word, rhymes, and syllables.
3. Read Little Words: the vowel in the middle, blending sounds to read, spelling three-letter words, and swapping one sound to make a new word.
4. Letter Teams: digraphs (sh, ch, th, wh, ck, ng, ph), twin letters (ll, ss, ff, zz), and blends at the start (fr, st, sn…) and end (nd, st, nk…) of words.
5. Long Vowels and Tricky Letters: silent e; vowel teams (ai, ee, ea, oa, oo, igh, ou, ow, then ay, oy, oi, aw, ew, ue); r-controlled vowels (ar, or, er, ir, ur); and the two sounds of c and g and three sounds of y.
6. Bigger Words and Reading: word endings (-s, -es, -ed, -ing), compound words, about 80 common sight words, then reading short questions on their own.
