Listen, repeat aloud, then practice with listening, spelling and matching activities to build connections between letters, sounds and written words. For children beginning phonics, teens and adults strengthening their basics, and parents learning alongside their children.

START FREE The 26 letter rules are free, with no account required. Advanced lessons require PhonicsJoy PRO. No ads. OFFLINE LEARNING AND YOUR RECORDS Lesson audio is built in, so free content works offline. PRO content can be used offline while the membership already verified on this device remains valid. Purchasing, verification and restoring purchases require an app account and an internet connection. Progress and practice records stay on this device and do not sync through your account. Recordings are for playback during the current learning session and are cleaned up when it ends; they are not a permanent recording library.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends.
