About GraphoGame: Learn to read
• Engaging & systematic phonics game that complements any phonics programme
• Practice and build up knowledge of letters and sounds quickly with your child and keep practising to make it automatic!
• Developed in collaboration with the University of Cambridge Centre for Neuroscience in Education
• Designed for school and home use
GraphoGame helps kids learn letters, rhymes and their sounds through a variety of engaging 3D levels – all with your child’s own unique player character that keeps them coming back for more! The player gradually moves on from graphemes and phonemes, through syllables and rhyme units, to eventually learn how to blend what they have learned into complete words. By playing just 15 minutes regularly, kids can improve their letter knowledge, phonological awareness, reading speed and overall confidence in literacy!
Initially developed in Finland as a support tool to help children struggling with reading to learn the basic decoding skills, the content of GraphoGame: Kids Learn to Read was developed in collaboration with the University of Cambridge Centre for Neuroscience in Education. The effectiveness of GraphoGame was studied in an efficacy trial funded by the Education Endowment Foundation and Wellcome Trust. To learn more about the study, visit our website!

Underwhelming
Got this app after watching a video online about how the brain of young children learn how to read. The presentation was quite impressed and I was happy that the scientist mentioned this app as a great tool for young children to learn how to read. I like that there isn’t a lot of elements in the lessons to easily distract the kids but the pronunciations are horrible. For example the sound for the letter R sounds like M. I hope this is fixed.

Terrible product - incorrect content
We purchased this four our child who reported they didn’t understand and were confused by the app. When we looked closer, we observed that what the app was speaking did not match what was written - its simply wrong. Clearly there is no quality control behind the app, or it’s tested by people who do not understand the language. This is very frustrating that we cannot trust it to do anything but confuse children. I strongly recommend anyone from wasting time or money on this.
