Each level, or more correctly, practice area has an accompanying puzzle that reinforces the concept further. As an added bonus there is also a combination level where all the app’s concepts are mixed and timed. The object in this level is to answer correctly before time runs out. Every correct answer keeps the streak alive. Beat your streak as you get better! Kids who practice well should be rewarded. Happi 123 has plenty of goodies to hand out. A special badge collection system rewards players for each completed practice round. Try to collect all 50 badges. Even the puzzles in between levels have something in store for you.

Six levels train different reading skills: • True or false? – read the sentence and decide if it matches the picture • Missing word – pick the word that completes the sentence • Pick the sentence – find the sentence that fits the picture • Create a sentence – put the words in the right order • Sentence memory – match sentences with pictures • Read and answer – read a short story and answer questions Children earn coins and medals and unlock reward pictures. A figure progress row shows how far they have come in each exercise. Answers are marked clearly with a check or a cross, and cheerful sounds keep children motivated.
