HOW IT WORKS

From the rainbow home screen you can choose a letter to learn. Then find and drag the matching letter into the letter’s shape. Whenever you touch a letter it will make a sound, this will help your child learn to also identify letters by their unique sounds. Once you get it right, you’ll be rewarded with pictures of items that start with that letter and a song to help you remember the letter and new words!
