About

Alphamingo

Read full description

Story time, without needing to know all the words. Alphamingo is an alphabet of little stories. Tap a letter and the page reads itself out loud, lighting up each word as it is said, so your child follows along and says them back. Anna has an apple and meets an ant. A funny fish lives on a farm. Iggy is in the igloo, finding ice cream. One for every letter, right through to Z. Read it together in the evening, or let them carry on ahead. Either way, they are picking up English while they enjoy a book, which is how it happens best. Made for young children, and for whoever is sitting beside them.
