Learn to Read vs Matharoo

Sweet Phonics is a phonics app that teaches kids ages 3–8 to read in 15 minutes a day. Its 101-lesson curriculum takes children from their first letter sounds to reading 2nd-grade decodable stories by sounding words out, not guessing or memorizing. Your child reads real words and their first little book by lesson 2. Each lesson is 12–15 minutes of short, game-like activities in a colorful 3D candy world. Kids slide sounds together, pop balloons to spell, sort, tap, and read real stories. WHAT'S INSIDE • 101 phonics lessons, kindergarten through 2nd grade: letter sounds, blending, digraphs, consonant blends, silent e, vowel teams, r-controlled vowels, prefixes and suffixes, and words up to four syllables • Story Mode: 91 decodable stories. Your child reads out loud and the app listens word by word. A missed word gets a sound-by-sound breakdown, so your child decodes it instead of being told the answer. • Spelling Mode: Fry's 1,000 high-frequency words, the ones kids need most for school, across 10 levels. Kids build each word from letter tiles, then spell it from memory. • A placement test, so a child who already knows some phonics starts where they are • Short explainer videos for tricky concepts • Up to 3 child profiles on one subscription, each with its own progress • A parent dashboard that shows what each child has mastered and what comes next HOW SWEET PHONICS TEACHES Sweet Phonics uses systematic synthetic phonics and structured literacy, grounded in the Orton-Gillingham approach and aligned with the science of reading. Every word in every lesson and story uses only sounds your child has already learned, so there are no picture clues to guess from. No guessing, and no false confidence. Children connect letters to sounds, blend sounds into words, spell those words, and then read them in sentences and stories. Spelling is part of every lesson, because spelling a word strengthens a child's ability to read it. WHO IT'S FOR • Pre-readers learning their first letter sounds • Kids who know their letter sounds but can't blend them into words yet • Kids who guess words from pictures instead of sounding them out • Kids who are behind in reading and need step-by-step practice • Homeschool families looking for a complete K–2 phonics sequence • Parents who want short daily lessons a child can do independently SAFE FOR KIDS No ads of any kind. Purchases require a parent's Apple ID. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://sweetphonics.com/privacy
