Pirate Phonics 1: Fun Learning for Android

11 things about Pirate Phonics 1: Fun Learning

1. Pirate Phonics has been designed to support the first stages of phonic learning over an extended period, at least several weeks.

2. If your child just wants to learn words related to any individual phonic then that can be selected from the ‘extras’ area on the start screen without going through every island.

3. Pirate phonics uses the concept of a child’s dream about pirates as the theme of an educational game to develop skills in the basic phonics.

4. The 5 Treasure Islands introduce the phonics 1 at a time before using blends to form simple words (mainly CVC).

5. Pirate Phonics offers fun and Phonics for kids who are just learning to read/recognise letters and simple CVC words.

6. It is a very large App which uses 5 ‘treasure islands’ with a ‘phonic’ route map across each island to recover the treasure stolen by Blackbeard the pirate.

7. Once a phonic has been unlocked and learned the child can revisit that island and phonic at any time.

8. Each phonic is introduced by a pirate with ‘phonic challenges’.

9. By passing the challenges coins are collected and the child heads towards where Blackbeard has hidden the treasure.

10. Each phonic is emphasised through the use of several ‘picture words’ which are deliberately read slowly by the narrator.

11. Rated 5/5 and Recommended by educationalappstore.com, official advisor to the Tablets for Schools scheme.
