Learn to read sound by sound, in English (12 sets, from s a t p i n to split vowels such as a‑e) or French (9 sets, from a i o u to ç, ce and ge). Each set has picture cards, then three games: find the picture with the sound, read a word by tapping its sounds in turn, and spell a word you hear from letter tiles. The words only use sounds already learned, and every set ends with short sentences to read. Stars for each set, 100+ tricky words to learn by sight, and tips for grown-ups. Words are spoken by the device’s own voice.
