Thomas ★★★★★

I love that the 72 activities let my son work at his own pace without needing me to sit beside him the whole time. The self-checking feature gives him that little boost of confidence when he gets one right.

John ★★★★★

My daughter’s four now and she’ll grab the pen and go through the 72 activities on her own, which says a lot since she usually wants me involved in everything. The instant feedback keeps her locked in, and I’ve noticed her letter sounds clicking faster than with our old flashcards.

Sophia E. ★★★☆☆

The activities are solid for teaching phonics, though I wish the pen's audio feedback was a bit louder for my kid. It does the job for independent play, but it's not as engaging as I'd hoped.
