Set your child or classroom up for reading success! GraphoGame helps kindergarten and primary school children learn to read and spell their first letters, syllables and words. Academically validated content and no ads! • Engaging & systematic phonics game that complements any phonics programme • Practice and build up knowledge of letters and sounds quickly with your child and keep practising to make it automatic! • Developed in collaboration with the University of Cambridge Centre for Neuroscience in Education • Designed for school and home use GraphoGame helps kids learn letters, rhymes and their sounds through a variety of engaging 3D levels – all with your child’s own unique player character that keeps them coming back for more! The player gradually moves on from graphemes and phonemes, through syllables and rhyme units, to eventually learn how to blend what they have learned into complete words. By playing just 15 minutes regularly, kids can improve their letter knowledge, phonological awareness, reading speed and overall confidence in literacy! Initially developed in Finland as a support tool to help children struggling with reading to learn the basic decoding skills, the content of GraphoGame: Kids Learn to Read was developed in collaboration with the University of Cambridge Centre for Neuroscience in Education. The effectiveness of GraphoGame was studied in an efficacy trial funded by the Education Endowment Foundation and Wellcome Trust. To learn more about the study, visit our website! FEATURES: • Synthetic phonics training app utilising onset-rime analogy • In-game literacy analytics for tracking student progress & difficulties • Suitable for ages 6-9 • Two game interfaces: Stars (for school use) and Adventure Map (for home use) • Engaging 3D graphics • Avatar creation & customisation • Works offline • NO ADVERTISEMENTS TESTIMONIALS: “I would definitely recommend the game . . . It's what's been lacking - a stretching programme for English and it does motivate them” – Primary school teacher “it's not reliant on adult support, it's easy to use as an intervention tool and you can monitor progress easily through it” – Primary school teacher “If there is a tricky word. . . we can chop it up into pieces and answer it” – Primary school student Game icon © Grapho Group Oy, Ville Mönkkönen & Mika Halttunen

Terrible product - incorrect content

We purchased this four our child who reported they didn’t understand and were confused by the app. When we looked closer, we observed that what the app was speaking did not match what was written - its simply wrong. Clearly there is no quality control behind the app, or it’s tested by people who do not understand the language. This is very frustrating that we cannot trust it to do anything but confuse children. I strongly recommend anyone from wasting time or money on this.

Thank you for leaving us a review. In the app we have a "Catch the rhyme"-level where the user hears a sound and must then find syllables and words that rhyme with the sound they heard. We have had feedback that this level can be confusing for younger children and we will improve the instructions in an upcoming update. Thank you again!

Got this app after watching a video online about how the brain of young children learn how to read. The presentation was quite impressed and I was happy that the scientist mentioned this app as a great tool for young children to learn how to read. I like that there isn’t a lot of elements in the lessons to easily distract the kids but the pronunciations are horrible. For example the sound for the letter R sounds like M. I hope this is fixed.

Thank you for your feedback! We recommend students use headphones to hear the nuances of the sounds. However, we are preparing an update to include new sound file options for different users so you can find the pronunciation that fits your kid the best! Thank you again for the helpful feedback.

I paid $8.99 and this app is no different from the one for $2.99. It won’t let me go above the sound levels. I want a refund as it doesn’t work

Hi! We’re sorry to hear about your disappointment. As you say, the Learn to read app is very similar to the American English app in terms of amount of content, but there are dialectal differences in for example the pronunciation. However, we are working on a premium version of the game with more content, once it is ready we would happily offer it to you for free.

I just got the iPhone X and can’t log into GraphoGame. When I try I briefly see my sons name and avatar but then I’m bumped back to the login screen. Otherwise great app for learning to read.
