Mavi Learning Rhymes is a word family and rhyming word game to help your child learn to recognize words by letter patterns. Learning groups of words that have similar letter patterns (such as bat, fat, mat, that or bake, cake, lake, take, etc.) is an efficient strategy to help your children improve their reading skills and decode new words from letter patterns. All of the app's 1,100 words are categorized into 332 groups of words (such as an, at, eath, ide, ard, irt, own, ood, etc.). Your child can also learn 41 beginning rhymes and 155 end rhymes. In the word family game, your child will learn beginning sounds and rhymes of the words in the same or different family. They have to find the missing beginning sound or rhyme sound in the word and then change some parts of the word to make the new one. Your child will earn the paper plane in each correct word, so that they can throw them to pop the balloons in the flight throwing game. Try to make correct words and collect the paper plane as many as you can! In the rhyming word game, your child will have to find words that have the same rhyme sound to collect the paper plane too. This game will help your children remember words in groups and improve their reading and writing skills in a fun and interactive environment. Mavi Learning Rhymes also includes a progress report (play history with game details) for teachers and parents to track their child's performance. The additional setup options allow you to control the level of word difficulty (For example, you can set up words with the same beginning sound or rhymes) and customize the number of questions or number of tries to match your child. **All words have been recorded by professional voice talent. *** If you have any questions or problems related to our app, please email us at playsmart.kids@gmail.com.
