App Description

Kids Crosswords from Learning Touch gives you 100 words, 10,000 puzzles, 10 levels of increasing difficulty and a million hours of educational fun for your kids!

With Kids Crosswords, your child can start with beginning speller challenges, then hone their spelling skills as they learn to be master crossword puzzle solvers!

This crossword puzzle game is specially designed to teach fundamental reading and pre-reading concepts to young children. In Kids Crosswords, your child will learn how letters correspond to sounds and how letter sounds form words. While they play, each letter tile announces its sound; when each word is completed, it is spelled out and then spoken.

Kids Crosswords is fun, educational, and engaging without being over-stimulating. It is designed with both parents and their kids in mind.

With Kids Crosswords:
* You can choose between phonics or letter names spelling
* You can get a different puzzle every time. Each puzzle is randomly selected from a library of 10,000 puzzles!
* You can learn new words with fun pictures and sound effects.

Not just fun and games, Learning Touch apps are powerful educational tools perfect for the car, the classroom, or the couch! Kids can play Kids Crosswords by themselves, but they love bringing their grownups along, sharing their puzzles, saying the names of the letters, and watching pictures animate and change from black and white to color!
