Fantastic learning tool

My son loves this app! Great for learning to sound out words and learning to read. Organized really well and the game component makes it fun!

Great app

My 5 year old is obsessed! He said “why did you get me this? I don’t want to stop playing!” As a parent, it’s a great blend of practicing while making it fun. I love that you have options for sounds— you can turn them on/off or let your child try it and then hear to make sure they got it right. I also love how low stim it is but still very fun and engaging!

My Son Actually Asks to Play!

We’ve been loving Score 4 Phonics! My son actually asks to play it after school for his “homework” because he thinks it’s a game. I love that he’s practicing his phonics and reading skills without it feeling like work. It’s engaging, easy for him to use, and has made learning something he genuinely looks forward to. Highly recommend for kids who need a fun way to build their reading skills!

Playing + Learning = A Win!!!

Learning to sound out words while playing a game she loves — a win for both of us!

Fun and intuitive reading app

My daughter and I love playing this together because it is a rewarding and fun tool for learning to read. She loves moving the slider to hear the sounds and she smiles each time she earns a star. It was easy for both of us to dive right in!
