What reviewers have said about the FULL version:

"An adorable letter recognition and phonics app that will have extended play value over time." – ApplyMall

“Kids will be so busy giggling they probably won’t notice how much they are learning!” – BestAppsForKids.org

“My 3yo boy has never adored an app before we brought home Words That Go.” – Customer review

“I also really appreciate Richard Scarry’s wacky car creations. I think they fit nicely with children’s imaginative nature.” -- Geekswithjuniors

When the Apple Car arrives at a Busytown stoplight, kids spell a-p-p-l-e to help it zoom through the intersection. With five playing modes, including letter matching, early phonics and spelling, this app grows with your child. Brave Officer Flossy is hot on the trail of that bad driver Dingo. And look out for Goldbug along for the ride.

As children seek new challenges, parents can adjust the difficulty level.

At Level 1, children learn to recognize and match letters, and experience putting letters together to make words.
Level 2 maintains the skills from level 1 and adds left to right ordering to encourage children to match letters from left to right.
Level 3 provides exposure to early phonics. Gameplay is similar to Level 2, but now children can hear letter sounds come together to make words.
Level 4 challenges kids to figure out the order of the letters based on their sounds, without visual hints.
Level 5 brings in big words and sight words to help early readers practice spelling.
