About Professor Pup’s Academy and Pup’s Quest for Phonics 2

Phonemic Awareness
The first three activities of Pup’s Quest for Phonics 2 focus on building the essential skill of phonemic awareness. After an introduction of the lesson by Professor Pup, the program teaches the target sound through engaging animation and music. In the Sound Farm activity, the child is prompted to identify images which have the lesson’s target phoneme.

Sound-to-Letter Phonics
Pup’s Quest for Phonics utilizes handwriting recognition software to teach the grapheme (symbol) that corresponds to the target phoneme of the lesson. The program emphasizes correct letter formation and phoneme-grapheme connection. The child then blends the phonemes and the corresponding graphemes together to create and read words. If the child reads the word correctly, they receive positive reinforcement with an image or video of the word to support their expanding vocabulary. If the child reads the word incorrectly, s/he receives immediate corrective feedback and phoneme-blending assistance.

Really Reading
Pup’s Quest for Phonics 2 scaffolds each lesson, so that students are prepared to read each new sentence in the animated and enchanting narrative. Children record themselves reading each line of the story, and are then rewarded as the line they read comes to life, revealing the plot. If the child does not know or is struggling with a particular word, they can use our patented Sound Buddies feature and tap to hear each individual sound or swipe to hear how the sounds blend together.

Note that our speech recognition software works best with headphones that include a microphone, but still works just fine without them!
