Description
Transform Your Child's Reading and Spelling Skills with Phonics Hero!
Perfect for children ages 4-7 or as a catch-up.
PHONICS HERO IS:
→ BURSTING WITH GAMES KIDS LOVE:
Your child joins our superhero, Zak, on his adventure to rescue his friends from Dr. Lazy Bones. To rescue a hero your child plays lively and varied phonics games; catching flying spaceships, feeding hungry tigers, dressing pooches, and more!
→ STEP-BY-STEP IN HOW WE TEACH PHONICS:
Our games are meticulously designed in a step-by-step manner, progressively building phonics skills: moving from learning the sounds, to reading (blending), spelling (segmenting), tricky words and then putting it together with sentences.
→ EVIDENCE BASED:
Drawing from research findings by the UK, Australian, and US governments into the Science of Reading, we use systematic phonics to teach reading and spelling.

With over 25 years of phonics experience, our team of educators and literacy experts has meticulously crafted, and rigorously tested, Phonics Hero to ensure your child reaches their full reading and spelling potential.

Ratings and Reviews

Developer Response ,
Thank you Elias, we are so pleased to hear we have helped with your children's reading!
Quite a hit
Kid loved it and made impressive leaps in her reading.
Navigation and certain pronunciation issues
This is decent app but has certain drawbacks:
1. Pronunciation for letter "L" is incorrect!!!! Instead of it being pronounced as "L" in " Lion", it is pronounced as "oo" in "ooze"!!! This is a major issue for a phonics app
2. Navigation is an issue. You do not easily know where you are in the app. You are indeed unable to navigate back to 'letter grouping' sections completed
3. You should be able to pause to explain things to a child or let the child rest a bit. Pause functionality does not exist.
