Letter Forest

Letter Forest brings together spoken prompts and printed choices. Your child taps letters in Letter Pop, pairs capital and small letters in Letter Match, and finds named words in Sight Words. Balloon Pop begins with colours for younger players and uses letters or words later. This world practises looking closely at print while listening for the letter or word being requested.

Where to start

For ages 2–4, try Letter Pop for capital-letter choices, then Balloon Pop, whose first level uses colours. For ages 4–6, begin with Letter Match to pair capitals and small letters. Try Sight Words next for spoken words matched to print; its later levels include finding a word in a sentence.

Every game starts at Seed, level 1, and climbs to Shine. Good play climbs a level; a hard day holds it, and a level earned is never taken away.
