My daughter was just starting to read when lockdown happened.
Like most children, she spent a lot of time on her device and wasnt very interested in books yet.
I needed an app that would bridge that gap. I developed this app for her so she could learn at home, through play, at her own pace.

The app focuses on teaching English vowel sound diagraphs and is a fun challenge for 4 - 7 year olds.
Words are grouped together by sound so that over time, kids can associate the sound with the different spellings.
Each vowel sound gets a star rating and parents can monitor the progress of their child through their high-score.

The app is based on Phase 3 of the Letters and Sounds curriculum.
It is ideal for children who have already started reading and know how to sound out basic words.
In Phase 3 children start to learn more complex digraphs and this app covers the 9 vowel sounds with 194 unique words.

Tap Words is a great, affordable way of supplementing your childs learning at home.

The child will be presented with a word and 3 images. They will need to select the correct image that corresponds with the word.
If they get it correct then they proceed to the next word. If not, they will be shown the correct answer and an AI voice will read out the word. They will get the opportunity to try the word again at the end of the level.
If they get all words correct then they will receive a 3 star rating.
I hope your child enjoys this app as much as mine does, you can view all their latest ratings in the Score Table.
