About Super Why! Phonics Fair
Parents' Choice Award Winner! No in-app purchases - all 60 word families are immediately available to help your child learn to read and spell.
In this classic carnival-themed app from the hit PBS KIDS preschool series SUPER WHY, kids ages 4-6 will learn reading, word-building, and phonics skills as they play along with the Super Readers.
Learning and practicing word families is a key literacy skill, as it helps children to build onto their letter sound skills to reading full words more efficiently. Children learn to identify these key rhyming word families to make them more fluent readers.
APP FEATURES
- 5 interactive Super Reader literacy games each with a different focus on phonics and designed to get kids to practice and strengthen their reading skills
- 60 key word families needed to learn to read are featured in each game (such as the –ALL word family, with words like “ball,” “tall,” “wall”)
- Reward system providing 200+ stickers that kids can earn and decorate with in the Phonics Fair Prize Booth
- Parent tools, including device notifications and a progress tracker that enables parents to see how their children are performing on each of the games and which word families may need more practice
