Phonics vs Lesson Garden

Phonics helps children aged 4 to 8 hear, count and play with the sounds of English — the skills every reader needs before, and while, learning to read. Built by a primary-school teacher for a real classroom, Phonics grows with your child: an invisible difficulty ratchet makes each game a little harder after a few successes and a little easier after a few misses, so nobody ever sees a "level" — they just keep playing. 14 GAMES • Vocabulary — find the right word • The Sounds — where do you hear the sound? • The Syllables — clap and count • Find the Syllable — which syllable is it hiding in? • Spelling Test — the Montessori way • Writing — build the word, letter by letter • The Rhymes, Odd One Out, The First Sound • The Syllable Train, Sound Memory, The Sound Hunt • Repeat After Me — record and listen to yourself • The Riddle MADE FOR NON-READERS Every instruction is spoken aloud. Every word has a picture. Children play on their own from the very first tap. TODAY'S CHALLENGE Each day, three games are picked for a short guided session — open to everyone, subscribed or not. FOR GROWN-UPS Several children can play on the same device, each with their own profile and stars. The Grown-Ups' Corner shows which words and sounds a child keeps missing. Progress stays on the device. PHONICS PLUS Vocabulary, The Sounds, The Syllables and today's challenge are free. Phonics Plus unlocks all 14 games for every child on the device, with Family Sharing and no ads — ever. • Monthly plan, or • Yearly plan with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period (or of the free trial).

Plan the whole homeschool year in minutes, then just check off each day. Tell Lesson Garden how many lessons or pages are in each book. It works out the pace, spreads everything across your school year, and gives you a simple checklist for every child, every day. EVERY BOOK FINISHED ON TIME • Enter a book's lessons or pages, and Lesson Garden spreads them evenly so it finishes on the last day of school. • Prefer a routine? Choose every day, Mon–Thu, Mon/Wed/Fri, Tue/Thu, every other day, or your own days, and see the finish date for each before you pick. • Page-based books get the right number of pages each time. • Curricula with more than one book, like Math 2A then 2B, are planned as one year. • Already partway through? Start from the lesson or page you're on. A CHECKLIST FOR EVERY CHILD • Today shows each child's lessons for the day. Tap to check them off. • On iPad, Today shows each child's lessons side by side. • The Week view shows the whole week at a glance, on iPhone and iPad. • Filter by child or by book. LIFE HAPPENS, AND THE PLAN KEEPS UP • Missed a day? Unfinished lessons move to the next school day, and the rest of the plan shifts. • Worked ahead, or did a subject on a day it wasn't planned? Check off the next lesson in any book from Today, and that book's plan moves up. • Checked something off by mistake? Undo it. YOUR SCHOOL YEAR, YOUR WAY • Set your first day, number of school days (180 by default), and which weekdays you do school. • Add breaks and holidays, and plans flow around them. • Give the same book to more than one child, each with their own copy to check off. • Doing history or a read-aloud with everyone? Make it a together book: it shows up once, and one tap checks it off for every child. HANDY EXTRAS • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show what's next and each child's progress. • An optional daily reminder tells you how many lessons are planned that day. • On Apple Watch, see today's lessons and check them off from your wrist (with Undo), and see a lessons-left count on your watch face. LESSON GARDEN PLUS The free version plans for up to 2 students. Lesson Garden Plus adds: • Up to 8 students. • Sharing: invite a family member, and you each sign in (with Apple, or with an emailed code) to share the same plans and checkmarks on your own iPhones and iPads. Plus is available yearly (with a free trial) or as a one-time lifetime purchase, and can be shared with your household through Apple Family Sharing. Your plans stay on your device unless you turn on Sharing. No ads, no tracking. Terms of Use: https://www.lessongarden.app/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://www.lessongarden.app/privacy.html
