For Parents
Match Phonics provides an entertaining learning experience with colorful images and crisp letters. Youngsters match over 50 images to beginning letter sounds.

The Game
When the game begins, 4 letters and 4 images are presented on the screen for matching. When the youngster recognizes the image, they use their fingers to draw a line from the letter of the beginning sound of the image to the matching image. If a correct match is chosen, the youngster is rewarded with a whimsical animation. If a incorrect match is chosen, the youngster is gently encouraged to try again. As the youngster chooses matching beginning letters and images, those selections are eliminated from the choices. When all the items are matched, the youngster shakes the iphone or ipad slightly to obtain a new set of letters and images.
