Ekapeli Alku harjoittaa kirjainten, tavujen ja sanojen lukemista. Peli soveltuu esikouluikäisille tai vanhemmille oppilaille. Jännittävissä kentissä sukelletaan meren alle, roikutaan korkeuksista ilmapalloilla, seurataan sammakon touhuja, etsitään timanttia, katsellaan tähtiä, ja samalla opitaan lukutaidon alkeita. Pelikentistä saa palkinnoksi kolikoita, joilla voi ostaa pelihahmolleen tavaroita tai peliä helpottavia kortteja. Ekapeli on kehitetty auttamaan erityisesti niitä lapsia, joille lukemaan oppiminen on haastavaa ja jotka tarvitsevat lisäharjoitusta. Ekapelit sopivat kuitenkin myös vanhemmille pelaajille, joilla on pulmia lukutaidossa. Ekapeli voidaan ottaa käyttöön esimerkiksi kotona, koulussa, esikoulussa tai puheterapeutilla. Pelin avulla harjoittelemisesta voi olla erityisesti apua, jos lapsen suvussa on esiintynyt lukivaikeuksia tai lapsen kielen kehityksessä on ollut havaittavissa vaikeuksia. Peliä pelaamalla lapsi saa tehokasta lisäharjoitusta, jonka avulla lukutaidon kehittyminen muiden oppilaiden tahdissa voi helpottua.
