Minden, Nevada - Award-winning educational studio, 22learn, has launched Phonics: Fun on Farm, a comprehensive introductory reading program that is designed to turn non-readers into readers. The application is available for a free download as part of its market release promotion on May 9-11. Phonics: Fun on Farm is modeled after the best research-supported techniques for high quality phonics instruction and includes a total of 12 unique reading games.

The secret of its reading methodology lies in the gradual introduction of letter sounds. Letter sounds are divided into six levels based on the possibility to form easily decodable words out of them. Right after learning the first five letter sounds, children plunge into reading words and simple captions! This way, Phonics: Fun on Farm harnesses children's intrinsic motivation as they experience joy from being able to read words right from the beginning.

There are several key characteristics that make Phonics: Fun on Farm a truly unique reading app. Children independently decide which reading skill they want to practice without being forced into a predetermined progression. This feature gives them a control over their learning and a chance to gain a plenty of practice in each skill. Moreover, the skills introduced in the game build on one another, thus making it possible for a child with no prior knowledge to master the reading basics.

The application is extremely comprehensive in terms of its content. The goal of its producers was to create the best phonics app on the market, with the focus on covering every skill that a child needs to learn in order to read. Therefore, parents will be happy to know that the content of Phonics: Fun on Farm covers phonemic awareness, letter sounds, letter writing, encoding, decoding, sight words, and reading fluency development. To keep practicing, children are motivated with stickers with which they can build their own farm.

Parents and teachers are able to create profiles for multiple children and have an access to a detailed reporting on the children's reading progress.
