Let your child learn to read while they take a global adventure with our interactive educational games. In six beautifully illustrated stories an international hero is introduced from a new continent where your child can imagine what it might be like to live in a different culture. The settings for the learn-to-read challenges are taken from each of these six stories.

Our scientific, research-based reading materials and activities are modeled after the “Big Five” focus areas recommended by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development: phonemic awareness, systematic phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Children are challenged to learn sounds and recognize new words as they play interactive games. Our Smart4Kids app contains four key components: learn, play interactive games, read stories and follow progression.

Smart4Kids enables your child to build his reading confidence through a progression of 36 units entailing the complete reading curriculum of a 1st grader.

Each one of the 36 units includes:
- the lesson taught
- 3 games to practice the lesson
- 1 mini-story to review the lesson

The games include activities such as word completion, word sorting, word matching, sound matching, memory tests and more. In each game, your child will win a point for each correct answer made. While our general approach is based on phonics, each unit also contains a sight word game, which are words learned primarily by sight recognition. The sight words are also reviewed in the mini story to help your child to build vocabulary.

A certain number of points is required for the skill to be considered mastered, then your child wins an award and should move on to the next unit.

Features:
- The app follows a progression of skills, enabling your child to progress at his own pace.
- The app uses 18 types of activities, carefully chosen according to the type of phonics being taught.
- Voice instruction and feedback
- Mini-stories highlight words as the narrator reads so your child can follow along
- Educational special rate
