Hairy Phonics 3

Practice vowel-r and split-digraph/magic-e sounds through a structured phonics game.

Our take

Useful for teacher-supported consolidation of these selected patterns

Sound animations, tracing and blending games connect letters with pronunciation.

Keep in mind: The printed phoneme list repeats one pattern, so do not infer exact unique coverage from it; this is supplementary practice, not dyslexia diagnosis/treatment.

What you can do

  • Structured selected-sound sequence
  • Animated sounds and finger tracing
  • Blending/word games with character rewards

Good for

  • Early readers around four to six with an adult

Consider alternatives for

  • A complete literacy intervention without assessment

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 9.3.
  • The printed phoneme list repeats one pattern, so do not infer exact unique coverage from it; this is supplementary practice, not dyslexia diagnosis/treatment.

Privacy & permissions

Adults should review learner record visibility and any actual permission prompts; the listing says no IAP but does not establish every data practice.
