The Eraser wiped every word out of Doodle World — and only one hero can bring them back: your child, reading aloud. Pip's Reading Adventure turns learning to read into a running, jumping, laugh-out-loud adventure. As your child reads each word out loud, their hero leaps the pit, bonks the silly monster, and flings open the gate — and the story comes back to life around them. REAL PHONICS, NOT GUESSWORK At every gate, Pip sounds the word out — sound by sound — before asking your child to read it. From first letter sounds on Sound Shore all the way to early fluency at Fluency Falls, the five islands follow the proven order of phonics: letter sounds, CVC words, digraphs, blends, and fluency. COACHING THAT ACTUALLY HELPS When a word goes astray, Pip doesn't just say "try again." He points at the exact sound to fix, models it, and waits. No timers. No lives. No getting stuck. Misreads are gentle, funny stumbles — never failures. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Speech recognition runs entirely on the device. Your child's voice never leaves the iPhone or iPad. No ads. No third-party trackers. No data collected. FOR PARENTS • Progress reports and printable practice sheets • Gentle daily reading reminders you control • A parent dashboard behind a grown-ups-only gate WHAT'S INSIDE • 20 decodable story books across 5 phonics islands • 20 story friends to recruit and collect • A home island to decorate • Daily quests, badges, streaks, and a weekly reading league • New books added every month with Pip Plus Pip is made for ages 4–7 and meets the App Store's Kids Category standards. SUBSCRIPTION Pip Plus unlocks every island, parent reports, and monthly new books. Subscriptions renew automatically and are charged to your Apple ID. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. A one-time Lifetime option is also available. Story packs are one-time purchases.
