Talking Shapes 6: Pet Bet

THE PET BET is the 6th of seven TALKING SHAPES apps that teach 36 sounds of English, the letters that represent them, and words that can be built with them. The ongoing storyline is about two sisters (“long, long ago”) who invent letters in order to remember the stories they love. THE PET BET adds to what was learned in TALKING SHAPES1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 by teaching 3 more letters (R, Y, V), and 5 phonemes (“r”, “y”, “Y“ as in MY, wh”, “v”) and 11 KEY WORDS: RUN, RED, RAT, YES, MY, SHY, TRY, FLY, WHY, WHEN, VAN, with an interactive story and games. Children can sound-out and write more than 60 regularly-spelled words using these letters. Talking Shapes7 teaches the rest of the 40 sounds of English and words that can be built with their letters.
