Free to try. One-time unlock — no subscriptions, no ads. Works offline. No data collected. Syllables for Kids turns tricky syllable practice into a happy little game. Your child taps to CLAP each syllable in a word, then drops the word into the right box — 1, 2, 3, or 4 claps. It's a joyful, hands-on way to build the phonological awareness that early reading and spelling are built on, made just for ages 6–8. Kids move through 9 gentle lessons and 78 friendly words — animals, food, nature, transport, school and big challenge words — with a smooth ramp from short words to long ones. Cheerful stars and "great job!" celebrate every try. No punishing timers, no scary scores — just calm, confident practice. WHAT KIDS PRACTICE • Clapping and counting syllables (1–4) • Listening and breaking words into parts • Sorting words by syllable count • Early phonics, reading and spelling readiness MADE FOR LITTLE LEARNERS • Big, tappable buttons and clear, friendly pictures • Tap-to-hear words and sounds • Beautiful on iPhone and iPad • Full Light and Dark Mode support SAFE & PRIVATE • No ads, no tracking, no accounts, no data collected • Fully offline — everything is built right in • Buy, Restore and all links sit behind a grown-up gate HOW UNLOCKING WORKS Syllables for Kids is free to download so you can see exactly what's inside.
