About ABCD Kids - Phonics Learning
๐ฆ PehlaAkshar โ Learn to Read with Phonics!
Is your child struggling to read? PehlaAkshar teaches children aged 4-7 to read using the proven Jolly Phonics method โ the same method used in top schools across India and the world.
Most children are taught A-B-C names first. But research shows children learn to read FASTER when they learn SOUNDS first. PehlaAkshar teaches your child the sound of each letter โ not just its name.
โ 100% FREE โ No subscription. No ads. No in-app purchases.
โ No login required โ Just install and start learning!
โ Works offline โ No internet needed after installation
โ Designed for Indian children and families
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ฏ HOW IT WORKS
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Your child meets Akshar โ a friendly fox who guides them through 42 phonics sounds across 7 groups of 6 lessons each.
Each lesson takes just 10-15 minutes and includes:
๐ Meet the Sound โ Hear and say the sound
๐ Mouth Demo โ Learn exactly how to make the sound
๐ Sound Character โ Meet Sammy the Snake (/s/), Asha the Apple (/a/), and more!
๐ Sound Hunt โ Spot pictures that start with the sound
๐ Hear It โ Listen and identify words
๐ Story Time โ Aarav and Mia's adventure in the Forest of Sounds
๐ค Build Words โ Blend sounds into real words (s+a+t = sat!)
โ๏ธ Writing Practice โ Trace and write the letter
โญ Reward โ Earn a Sound Star and unlock the next story chapter!
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
โญ THE STAR SYSTEM
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Every sound learned = one Sound Star earned. Collect all 42 stars across 7 groups and unlock the complete adventure story world!
After completing Group 1 (6 sounds โ /s/, /a/, /t/, /i/, /p/, /n/), your child can already read 20+ words like:
sat โข sip โข tin โข pan โข pit โข nip โข ant โข tap โข spin โข snip
