Photo Play (for Families) for Android

8 things about Photo Play (for Families)

1. Free early-literacy apps from the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) are made for parents and caregivers to use with their children to encourage fun and rewarding interactions and promote dialogue — giving children the foundations they need to read, learn, and thrive.

2. Photo Play can help you build your child's language skills even when you've put the app down, during everyday activities like going shopping, running errands, or walking to the playground.

3. Welcome to Photo Play — a fun and creative way to get families talking! Just by talking with your little one — and helping them talk with you — you can get them ready to read and ready to learn about the world.

4. In Photo Play, you'll use your own family photographs and memories to develop conversations and early literacy skills with your children.

5. Critical pre-literacy skills are developed long before elementary school — through play and interactive conversations with caregivers at home.

6. This app is specially designed for you and your child to use together, talking and laughing about everyday objects and interactions as you play.

7. Choose a photo and have fun drawing on it, decorating it with stickers, playing hide and seek with it, and talking about people and events you see in the image.
