New: your child can hear the words. • Hear the word. Tap the speaker on a flash card and the word is said out loud. You can turn it off in Settings if it gives the answer away. • Listen & Pick. A new game: your child hears a word and finds it among four. A wrong tile turns red and the word is said again. • The practice trail. A path across the top of practice shows how far through the session you are and how each word went. • A more natural voice. Choose the voice that says the words, and see how to download a better one for free. • Balloons and Sparkles. Two new ways to celebrate a good session, or let Surprise Me pick.
