## What is LetterMilo?

Take the first steps toward reading with Milo, a friendly mouse. Explore letter sounds, build short words, and enjoy playful English practice together on iPhone and iPad.

Made for young children and their grown-ups, LetterMilo lets you choose a short game and go at your child’s pace. Listen, tap, or try speaking with Milo. Help is always welcome.

TRY FIVE GAMES FREE
Start with three letter games (m and a, t, p) and two picture-word games (apple and car). Replay them as often as you like. One purchase unlocks Full Library. No subscription.

FROM LETTER SOUNDS TO FIRST WORDS
• Hear and try letter sounds, then find the matching letters.
• Explore 99 pictured words, from apple and car to animals, vehicles, and everyday things.
• Join sounds, build short words, and try reading in extra games that open after the matching letter games.
• Listen to 15 illustrated sentences and try saying them together.

Full Library includes 25 letter games covering all 26 letters, the pictured words and sentence games, extra word games, and Milo’s Library crown. These totals include the five free starter games.

A LITTLE PLAY, TOGETHER
Earn stars by finishing games, including with help. Use them to choose clothes and places for Milo. Stars are earned through play and cannot be bought.

SPEAKING IS OPTIONAL
Word games offer picture or word matching. Sentences let you choose We tried it together. Letter games do not need a microphone.

On supported iPhones and iPads with iOS or iPadOS 26 or later, Milo can listen during word and sentence practice. Speech is checked on the device; recordings and recognized words are not saved or uploaded. Apple may need to download language support first. Milo can miss a word your child says correctly, so you can always try another way.

READY WHEN YOU ARE
No account is needed. Games and narration work offline. Progress is saved on your device and may be included in device backups. Buying and restoring Full Library need an internet connection. Restoring a purchase does not restore learning progress.

Requires iOS or iPadOS 18 or later. LetterMilo supports early reading and language practice alongside books, conversation, and grown-up guidance. Activities do not measure reading ability or score pronunciation.
