YOUR CHILD WILL LEARN:
• Basic foundations of language
• To read, write and understand letters from a-z
• Lowercase letter symbols and their sounds (phonics)
• Phonograms - writing and pronunciation
• Capital letters - letter names, writing and pronunciation
• Consonants and vowels
• Fine motor skills

Intro to Letters includes the following activities in a Universal app that will work on iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch:

• LETTER SOUNDS (Lowercase Letters)
The first activity places an emphasis on phonetics instead of letter sounds. Your child will learn the sounds of the letters through a series of guided, interactive exercises.

• PHONOGRAMS
Similar to the letter sounds, your child will work through the sounds of phonograms and unite them with their symbols.

• FLASHCARDS
Connect the sounds of the lowercase letters with their uppercase counterparts.

• LETTER NAMES (Capital Letters)
The objective of this activity is to acquire a knowledge of the names and symbols of the capital letters.

• SOUNDCARDS
A special recording section to help your child learn sounds, phonograms and names.

• PRACTICE MODE 
- This section allows kids to practice specific letters or phonograms. A new toggle feature allows the user to isolate their tracing paths.
