## Description

14 playful games that teach children ages 4–7 to hear sounds, clap syllables, find rhymes and spell their first words. Built by a dad and teacher. No sign-up needed.

Phonics turns learning to read into play. Fourteen mini-games teach the skill every reading method depends on: hearing the sounds inside words.

Made for children ages 4–7, with big friendly buttons, a voice that reads every instruction out loud, and zero reading required to start playing.

THE GAMES
• Vocabulary — hear a word, find the picture
• The Sounds — where do you hear the sound?
• Find the Syllable — tick the syllable that hides the sound
• The Syllables — clap along and count
• The Spelling Test — discover how the word is written
• The Writing — build words letter by letter
• The Rhymes — find the words that rhyme
• The Odd One Out — spot the picture with a different sound
• The First Sound — what does the word start with?
• The Syllable Train — hook the wagons in the right order
• Sound Memory — match pictures that start alike
• The Sound Hunt — pop the bubbles that sing your sound
• Repeat After Me — record your voice and listen back
• The Riddle — listen to the clue, guess the picture

SMART WHERE IT COUNTS
• Nearly 1,000 illustrated words with recorded pronunciation
• Difficulty adjusts invisibly — success makes it harder, struggle makes it gentler, the child just plays
• A daily challenge to keep the habit going
• Multiple child profiles, each with their own stars and progress
• A parents' corner showing exactly which sounds and words need practice
• Build custom word lists (this week's classroom sounds, sibling names…) and sync them across devices with an optional free account
• Siri Shortcuts: "Hey Siri, open the Spelling Test"

MADE FOR FAMILIES
• No sign-up required — tap and play
• No ads, no purchases, nothing to buy — just the games
• The microphone is used only for the Repeat After Me game and nothing is ever uploaded
• A child's progress never leaves the device

Phonics is the English version of Phonologie, the French phonics app used in classrooms since 2014.
