Nap

Pat and Pip rest on the sofa with a friend. At this early stage, children are learning to read from left to right and blending their first six phonic sounds, so books are kept short and repetitive.

First time

Ava thought the so good, she read the book easily 🤩

Excellent App to teach/reinforce reading skills

I cannot say enough good things about this app. It has helped all three of my boys on their reading journeys. My youngest son is currently using it now. He is in first grade and struggling with phonics at school. Since having him practice and play on this app, he is now steadily progressing! The best part is that he doesn’t feel like he is doing “work” — just having fun. I cannot imagine a scenario where one would regret purchasing this app. It’s great!

A great app

This app has worked wonders for my youngest. He is about to turn 6 and has been struggling with reading for a little while.
We have been using the app for only one week and his word recognition and sounding has improved so much.
He works on a couple of activities a day and loves it.
Thank you to the developers for making this incredible app.

Amazing App

My youngest age 7 has just started back at school and I want to help give her a boost in her reading. Being the eldest in her class I feel she should be more advanced than the rest and noticed her struggling with the sounds. Most likely down to me not knowing how to use phonics correctly as the school never had a parents class to teach us. Through reading the info along with this app I understand it all so much better and my daughter has actually surprised me as to how much she already knows. Through reading the info I have found that her school is one of many that use books that don't focus on sounds she has learnt through phonics as the funding using in place to buy the proper books. Something I will look into through the PTFA. This app not only give the the proper words for sounds they learn but gets them tracing and saying the new sounds as they go along and she has so much fun answering the questions to word sounds correctly, any she gets wrong she is eager to correct. I’m on my 7 day free trail atm but once it’s up I will purchase for the year as it will be well worth the money as it has already got her confidence up. Thank you so much for this app I will recommend to other adults at my children’s school. Xx

Did they have to lobotomize the narrator?

(See title) - my toddler is supposed to be intrigued by this?

I'm afraid I'm not sure what you mean by, "Did they have to lobotomize the narrator?" If you email me at support@appsinmypocket.com, I'll do my best to help.
