App Description

Join Spaceman Sam on his exciting ALPHABET and PHONICS adventure in space! The Alphabet Space Mission app uses exciting, interactive ABC SONG Space videos and beat-the-clock, ‘Tilt & Play’ Matching Maze games to teach the ABCs and Phonics in a new and exciting way. Use this app as a beginners phonics course, or to supplement current learning. The Full Version is supported by talking, animated phonics flashcards.

*** The Lite version includes ABC Space Mission Song Videos ABCDE and FGHIJ, plus the exciting Letter Match Maze Game****

***Don't miss our great value, discounted 'Kids Learning Pack: Songs, English, Music, Letters, Numbers, Colors & Shapes' app bundle!***

Let your children and young learners fly into space with our exciting ABC Song videos that TEACH the ABC SONG, PHONICS, and FIRST WORDS! Watch closely as you fly through space and find the items that are taught with each video! Then, let the fun and silly aliens teach beginning phonics sounds (sounds of letters used for reading) as you reach the alien planet!

The fun TALKING-FLASHCARDS (Full Version only) teach the letter names, phonics sound for the letter, and first words using the letter. Learn that 'apple' and 'ant' start with 'a', then practise more words and letter sounds.

The ‘Tilt & Play’ MAZE GAMES are exciting, high-energy space mazes that will further reinforce all of the ABCs, Phonics, and WORDS that are taught in this app. Tilt your iPad to steer your spaceman around the maze and hit the correct answer bubbles, BUT, watch out for the ice aliens! If they freeze you three times, it’s game over. The game changes each time you play. The Full Version has both the Letter Match and Picture Match Mazes.

*There’s also a US English app version! It has 'Zed' sound + 'Zebra' pronunciation differences.*

**The Full Versions are also available as iPhone apps!**

***Supported with creative learning ideas and colour-in ABC worksheets.***
