While our awesome App offers a robust foundation in phonics by introducing letter names, letter sounds, and progressing through word families, blends, etc., we believe the content is strongest when paired with our hands-on Practice Packs. The hands-on materials offer a few essential benefits:
Physical writing practice in letter and word formation
Introduction to additional foundational reading skills such as rhyming, reading left-to-right, etc.
Strengthened reading comprehension with discussion questions about each book
An important opportunity to practice skills learned in the App (and a strong indicator to parents of areas that may need additional practice or review)
Hands-on storybooks for bedtime and beyond (kids just LOVE reading a "real" book aloud!)
You may certainly opt to use the App on its own, but we believe you'll find the most powerful reading experience by pairing the App with the Practice Packs.
