Kiz Phonics_Pre-K Lite 2.0

The Preschool Phonics Videos & Games app offers a free version featuring four introductory lessons, enabling users to explore its content before committing to the full version. This educational tool is designed to aid children in distinguishing between uppercase and lowercase letters of the alphabet while simultaneously introducing them to the initial sounds associated with each letter, alongside three corresponding words. Such foundational skills are integral to the early stages of reading development, emphasizing both phonemic and print awareness through engaging activities.

One notable aspect of this app is its alignment with the KIZ PHONICS BOOK 1 for Preschool and Low Kindergarten, making it a valuable complementary resource for children aged 2 to 6 years.

1. Videos: The app encompasses a series of song-based lessons that cover all 26 letters of the alphabet. This approach is particularly effective for young learners embarking on their reading journey, as songs facilitate quicker absorption of information. Each letter-sound video introduces children to the names of the letters, highlights both capital and lowercase forms, and presents beginning sounds paired with three words that exemplify each sound.
2. Games: Accompanying each video are interactive activities designed to reinforce the learning objectives. These finger tracing and multiple-choice games specifically focus on helping children understand the correct writing order of letters and distinguish between uppercase and lowercase forms, all while reinforcing their knowledge of letter names and sounds.

This app serves as a supportive companion for preschool and kindergarten students' early reading development, grounded in proven phonics methodologies. Developed by reading specialists, the app ensures accurate pronunciation of letter sounds—particularly consonants—addressing common pitfalls found in other programs that may introduce mispronunciations (for instance, distinguishing between /b/ and the incorrect /buh/). A solid foundation is crucial during this formative stage.
