It's one of the best educational games out there!! My son uses this app for after school, and his sight reading has improved massively! It also teaches spelling and comprehension whilst in a fun format that I find myself enjoying too. There's a reporting section that is incredibly useful. It shows if they have mastered the skill for that level or if they need more work without the children seeing the scores themselves. Most importantly, it's one that my son wants to keep playing!

Subscriptn program. Past review: Seems to be a complete games based reading program. synthetic phonics. Games: simple, not too long, fun & varied. Rewards. Different methods of teachg. DONT LIKE: 1) in Australia, 'a' before 'n/m' says 'air' NOT 'a'. I had to teach this rule before i wanted to so that we could go on with program. 2) child was progressing well in the basic sounds/words when suddenly given words like: 'was/the' before being taught 'th' or 'a after w says o' rule. Cant go on.

I'm pleased to hear you like the games! Regarding the issues: 1. the first 'a' should be the /a/ sound, not /air/. Maybe you have the wrong accent on your account. Please email us to check: info@phonicshero.com 2. These are high frequency words that need to be learnt in order to progress to reading sentences: https://phonicshero.com/camera-words/
