Great for English learners and beginning readers
AGO Phonics Sound Pad is designed for children learning to read English as well as ESL/EFL learners. Teachers and parents can quickly check the pronunciation of unfamiliar words and sounds, making it particularly useful when English is not their first language.
The clear visual layout makes it easy for children to explore sounds independently, while teachers can use the sound boards for whole-class practice, games and phonics activities.
Works with AGO Phonics card games
The app is also a companion to the AGO Phonics card game series. The levels, sounds and vocabulary correspond closely with the cards, so learners can quickly hear words and phonemes while playing.
Explore, listen, practice and play — all phonics content is now available free.
A major AGO Phonics update! All six AGO Phonics levels, plus AGO Link and both male and female voices are now completely free. We’ve also added illustrated phonics game ideas, expanded multilingual support, refreshed navigation and other improvements. AGO Phonics Sound Pad remains completely ad-free.
