App Description

Can your child recognize letter sounds, identify words that rhyme, and pronounce the digraphs? School Zone’s Phonics Made Easy Flash Action iPad app has been developed to help children sharpen important phonics skills for reading success. Children will explore beginning and ending letter sounds, distinguish between long and short vowel sounds, pinpoint the rhyming families, work with letter blends, and more. The app’s audio-rich environment makes phonic skills much easier to learn when children can hear the letter sounds while solving the exercises. Positive performance is rewarded with four unique play areas where kids can create their own scenes using colors, animation, music, and special effects. The easy-to-follow directions, upbeat music, and simple kid-friendly design allow children to work independently while they practice following directions, listening, critical thinking and problem solving skills, and creativity. School Zone’s iPad apps are all about integrating fun and learning, making Phonics Made Easy Flash Action a perfect companion to your child’s educational journey.

School Zone Publishing Company has been creating children's educational products for over 30 years, so you can trust that School Zone’s apps will pack a learning punch. Go ahead, give your child a healthy dose of learning!
