## What is ABC Academy?

An English first step for 3–6 year olds, guided in Chinese.

ABC Academy is designed for Chinese-speaking families: on-screen text and spoken guidance are in Traditional Chinese, and every letter, sound and word is voiced in English. It suits families in Taiwan and Chinese-speaking parents around the world who want their child to meet English through short, playful rounds.

Open the app and the quest map shows the next level. Tap "Next level" and a bear, a penguin and a fox lead the way. Every menu has its own picture and a speaker that reads its name, so children who can't read yet can still choose on their own.

Try A–E letter levels, 12 everyday words and a matching game for free. A one-time purchase unlocks A–Z, all 292 words and the sorting game. No ads, no subscription, no account.

ONE MAP, ALWAYS FORWARD
• Five letter stops (A–E to U–Z), each with five levels: letter names, big and little letters, letter sounds, everyday words and tracing.
• Then five word islands with 35 levels: animals, food, body, feelings, actions, places and more, up to ten words per level.
• Never stuck: after two tries, the map moves on and comes back later.
• A treasure chest at every stop with a bonus game as a prize.
• Prefer to choose? The "choose" corner keeps every activity, and parents can switch the home screen style.

LETTERS AS STORIES
Help the bear find passengers by letter name, help the penguin match big and little letters, and visit the fox's sound house. Watch first, find together, then try alone. Replay, hints and a rest button are always there.

WORDS FROM EVERYDAY LIFE
See a big picture, hear the Chinese meaning and the English word, follow the helping hand, then try alone. A word book, matching, sorting and tracing bring each word back in a new way.

REMEMBERED, NOT JUST PLAYED
A letter lights up only after it is found without hints on different days and again in a review at least a day later. Daily review is capped at 10 questions.

FOR PARENTS
A one-glance card shows where your child is and what to practise next. A letter timeline, a monthly growth certificate to print or share, a three-minute screen-free game for tonight and printable letter worksheets.

FREE AND FULL VERSION
Free: A–Z letter-name exploration; A–E letter stories, practice and tracing; 12 words, the word book and matching; one child profile and parent reports.
Full version (one-time in-app purchase): A–Z practice and tracing, 292 words in 19 themes and five word islands, sorting, and up to six child profiles.
The free version has no time limit. The full version does not renew; the price is shown on the Apple purchase sheet. Restore with the same Apple Account in the parent area.

Pictures and voices work offline. Progress stays on the device, with no ads or third-party tracking. For iPhone and iPad.
