How to play:

The game announces each word by name, and the sounds of each letter/letter combination making up that word. A letter of the word drops down, and kids have to tilt the iPad so that the letter falls into the correct space at the bottom of the screen, bouncing it off clouds to get there. They can also touch the letter boxes that make up the word or the falling letter to hear the sound it makes. If the correct letter falls into the right spot, kids are rewarded with fun animations. Then, another letter drops down.
