Letters & Words
About our letters & words games
In letters and words games, children look at a picture and find the letters that spell its name. They put the letters in order and see how the picture connects with the written word. These games suit children who already recognise a few letters and are starting to discover their first words.

Frequently asked questions
Does my child need to read already?
No. It helps to recognise a few letters, and the picture shows which word to build.
What can we do together after playing?
Look for the first letter of your child's name on boxes and signs, or build short words with magnetic letters.
Do we need an account or an app?
No. The games are free and open straight in the browser, on a phone, tablet or computer.
