5. abc Pocket Phonics

  1. 3. SUPER WHY! – PBS KIDS The SuperWHY app follows along the same lines as the PBS kids show, entertaining and educating young kids about words and reading . With 4 different games within the app, there’s everything from tracing letters to picking the best word to finish a sentence.

  2. Licking Letters is an app that helps kids practice identifying capital letters and spelling three-letter words. Players, with the help of Hoppy the Frog, complete words by tapping the letters as they move across the screen. Hoppy then licks the letter to add it to the word. The first few rounds have three-letter words and only include the target letters, but the app gradually increases in difficulty. Completing a round earns a coin, which can be used to buy costume items for the frog. For more information read Common Sense Media’s review of Licking Letters .
