Phonological Awareness Area - Go coconuts for learning sounds! Explore rhyming, initial and ending sounds of spoken words, blending, and more.

Carefully crafted text in each story enables emergent readers to start connecting words and sentences to read fun stories. With 40+ eBooks and new content being released on an ongoing basis, these stories help your child learn how to read so they can say, “I read a book all by myself!”
The Square Panda Literacy System is designed to keep children engaged and having fun when developing important reading skills:
- Provides simple, highly controlled text to support beginning readers
- Builds knowledge of word families and common spelling patterns
- Introduces CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words and sight words
- Supports ELA state standards in foundational reading skills
- Supports reading fluency through guided practice and repeated readings of text
And much more!
Square Panda's learning games have had more than 400,000 words spelled and more than 2 million letters played!
PARENT & TEACHER PORTAL - With the Square Panda cloud-based parent and teacher portals, parents can follow their child’s progress as they learn letters and words and teachers can manage student profiles, monitor progress, and identify instructional opportunities.
“This is the first time that I've seen him able to actually make that connection and put those sounds together to make words. I am so excited and he is so excited as well to be reading.”
“This is making a huge impact on my students and their reading ability. To me, that’s amazing!”
"Seeing my daughter advance in her class with letters definitely made me feel good and confident that I'm helping pick products and choices that are making her advance in reading and writing.”

I’ve been using this app for 3 months now. My 8 year old enjoys playing the games, and his letter sound confidence has grown tremendously because of it. He has been more willing to read aloud in class because of his new confidence. But its the 3 year old who asks to play! He knows to follow the star, and try the letters that come up in each game. He can name all 26 now, and almost half of the sounds he can recognize. The playset is a huge hit with him as well. This app is one I happily let my children use their ‘screen time’ for.
Love it for the most part
alt1986
We really like the apps and games my son is in first grade be very behind in reading and language. So this app and play set really help him and he enjoys it. I gave it a 3 because there are a few things that could make it better. 1 if all the games were in the same app not 11 different apps makes switching games not a smooth as it could be. 2 I can’t get his name to come up in the lagoon even though I’ve add it to his word list. 3 sometimes the apps are glitchy and not smooth he gets frustrated sometimes. But most for the most part he enjoys it

Hello, Sorry to hear you're having issues. You can try our SquareLand game which has various mini-games in it, this may help you not switching between other apps. We would love to help you out and make sure the app is working for you properly. Please email us at support@squarepanda.com
Missing stars and codes
Keen Quinn
We use the Square Tales books and there are a number of stars listed under some of the practice sections that do not show up when working through the app. This causes the book to not be “finished” even though we’ve done everything available. I’ve attached a screenshot of the stars page showing the empty star. When I tap on the specific word, it just goes to the next word in line and doesn’t show the missing word. We also just started on set 5 and there are no QR codes in the back of the book. This is one of the main reasons my son likes to read these.
Developer Response
Hello Keen, We would like to offer our sincere apologies for the confusion and understand how frustrating this must have been for you. We've looked into this and wanted to share additional information - since its release, the QR code is no longer offered starting with Set 5 of SquareTales. The app (where the star feature is located) is under development to remake that feature(the new version of the app3.0 is on the release soon).In addition, we've turned the activities originally offered into downloadables. Please send us an email support@squarepanda.com and we will share the downloadables with you.
Works well

App seems to work well. I’ve seen others say the app crashes with every game, but I assume their new update fixed it all. I was able to play multiple games with no issues. The learning device also works with your phone, not just a tablet, but my phone got extremely hot and the battery was drained very quickly. Not sure if a tablet would have the same issue.
Bug fixes and optimizations.
