Games for Learning the Pictophones

*These games are all designed for desktop/laptop use only*

Our popular Super Search (character-mode) helps children learn the pictophonics character by spotting it in a crowd.

Character Paintball gives your child target practice while learning the characters!

Our Trainertext Creator allows you to type in words, and get the phonetic characters encoding. You can then press ctrl+P to print! Great for single words or spelling lists from school.

Our Secret Message Writer gives kids great practice forming words just using the characters – no letters allowed! Perfect for learning the image set, and working on decoding/blending.

Games for Decoding/Blending Practice

Our Nonsense Word Reader is perfect for those kids with a guessing habit! Helps refine decoding skills and its good for a laugh too!

Super Search (sounds-mode) is perfect for developing auditory processing and blending strength, as children have to find an object that starts with a given sound.

Another great one for eliminating guessing, Spotter asks you to match an image to a word… with lots of decoys in the mix!

Games for Eye-Tracking Development

Mole Whacker is super fun, and also beneficial for eye-tracking (a crucial element of reading development).
