How it Works:
★ Kids find the correct beginning sound to match the picture with the word family and then tap the right letter to spell the correct word that corresponds with the picture.
★ When the correct letter is chosen, the app makes a clapping sound and repeats the word for kids.
★ Now, the app goes through all the pictures for the word family and returns all related pictures for that word family. Here, the kids will find a great informal assessment for their reading development.
★ After completing all these activities, the app goes to the next word family.
