Child Accounts: Hours and Hours of Independent Practice

Children using the Child Account games

Each child gets their own login to practise their phonics skills independently — at school or at home, on the app or a computer. They join our hero Zak on a mission to rescue friends from Dr Lazybones. Woven through this exciting storyline are 850 games that provide a huge amount of phonics practice, helping children become fluent, confident readers (and spellers!).

My students are thoroughly enjoying the opportunity to play the games at home. I must say that this program is making such a difference with my students.
