Turn your iPad into a musical-phonics instrument with Jam on Phonics. Learn letter sounds and beginning reading skills by jamming along with 17 songs and chants!

Jam on Phonics is divided into four graded sections: Vowels, Consonants, Vowels and Consonants and Words. You’re first introduced to short vowel sounds followed by consonants grouped in voiced and unvoiced pairs. The "Vowels and Consonants" section then brings all the sounds together in alphabetical order followed by a "Words" section to develop basic word-building skills using a consonant-vowel-consonant layout from left to right.

Each section comes with a song to introduce the sounds, three chants to explore, learn and assimilate those new sounds as well as a Jam track to play with and make up your own chant or song. The songs and chants focus on developing key language skills through listening, speaking, matching/reading and spelling all within the groovy context of rhythm and song!
