For ages 3-7 We make phonics fun! Readiculous teaches kids to read with the science of reading in just 10 minutes a day. Watch as your child learns letters, phonemes, and words, explores and customizes an enchanting treehouse world, and travels to the moon with the Mrs Wordsmith characters - and 2x faster than they normally would! Boring worksheets are a thing of the past. Kids are assigned missions, a new one to complete each day, with stories unfolding as they progress. Readiculous brings award-winning characters, pedagogy, and stories into the digital world. Players join a cast of out-of-control characters designed by Craig Kellman (Madagascar, Hotel Transylvania) on a reading adventure. Each character's fully-animated storyline is written by a team of children’s writers and animated by Hollywood artists and are revealed as rewards through play. Up to four personalized child profiles and reports 100% ad-free, game-based learning Safe, quality screen time Subscription after week of free trial Help and support: readiculous-support@mrswordsmith.com Terms and conditions: https://mrswordsmith.com/pages/terms-and-conditions Privacy policy: https://mrswordsmith.com/en-gb/pages/privacy

I really wanted to like the app

I really wanted to like the app but I didn’t. The overall concept was nice but the lessons are too broad. On the start up page I selected that my child can read a few cvc words like cat, tap, and etc. My child went from playing a cvc flash card game, to a four letter sight word game within a matter of minutes. The lesson wasn’t age appropriate for a child that new to reading . The lesson included sight words like some, were, and etc. Sight words are important but for a child that’s just learning how to read , phonics should be front row and centered. And when introducing sight words they need to also be age appropriate. I was excepting to see beginner sight words like the words (The, are, my, and etc) .Overall the app has a lot of potential but improvements are needed to separate the reading levels. So for now I think it’s better suited for children who have more advanced reading skills than a child who’s just getting prepared for Kindergarten.

Freezes so much

My daughter was only able to do the first lesson. And it has completely frozen. I even tried making a second login and it is still frozen. I’m glad I only had it the first week free and did not pay for this app. I feel like this would’ve been a great app if they could get it to work.

We love this game but it constantly freezes. We have contacted customer service multiple times. They fix the freeze in the next update but we are unable to consistently play and build skills because it takes weeks to fix issues.
