Sound It Out: Phonics Sounds

Sound It Out teaches kids all 44 phonics sounds of English in both UK (British) and US (American) accents. It's a phonics app for preschool, kindergarten and early readers ages 3–7. Children learn letter sounds, trace ABC letters from A to Z, blend sounds into words and start reading in the first few lessons.

One tap switches the whole app between UK and US pronunciation, so your child hears every phonics sound in the accent they know from home and school.
