Play anytime and anywhere, it only takes a moment to turn on your phone and help your child learn the ABCs!\n\nFeaturing three games in one:\n\nSpelling:\nA picture is shown on the screen with letters outlined just above it. Children match the letters at the top by choosing from the tiles below, placing them in the correct order to spell out words.\n\nFill In Blank:\nKids spell out the name of the picture using letters on the screen. There’s just one catch, though: all the letters are jumbled up!\n\nBlank Spelling:\nLetters are placed at the bottom of the screen, but this time there’s no clue at the top!\n\n  \nABC Spelling was designed with both adults and children in mind. Kids will love the bright graphics, the easy to touch icons, and the fun cartoon drawings. Parents will love the report card feature that helps track learning progress.\n\nBest of all, ABC Spelling - Spell & Phonics is absolutely free, with no third party ads, paywalls, or other distractions.\n\nFeatures:\n- Fun, educational activities for toddlers, kids, and parents alike!\n- Colorful graphics and wonderful animations to help kids learn.\n- Sounds to help children learn phonics for letters and words.\n- Report cards show learning progress so parents can help their kids at every turn.\n- Parents have complete control to set options and customize game modes to make learning more effective.\n- Collect stickers to celebrate learning achievements!\n\nNote to Parents:  \n\nABC Spelling is a passion project for us. We want to reach kids across the world and give them an educational advantage. Children in cities, towns, even remote places where cell phones are more common than schools can benefit from a learning app like this one. There are so many kids who lack proper schooling, and that's why we want to remove as many barriers as possible to help them learn.\n\nAs parents, you can do a lot to help us spread the joy of education. Share this app with friends, family, schools, daycares, non-profit organizations, or simply post about it on Facebook or Twitter. One share, one tweet, can make a huge difference.\n\nWe're parents ourselves, and it's our goal to keep making free educational apps for kids. We need your help to make that happen. Every child should have a chance to learn the basics of spelling, phonics, and numbers. Together, we can give countless kids an opportunity they've never had. Thank you!\n\n- Best wishes from the parents at RV AppStudios","facts":{"developer_id":340181308,"developer_url":"http://www.rvappstudios.com","first_released":"2017-01-25T14:33:14Z","support_url":null,"privacy_url":null,"website_url":null,"app_version":"1.8.3","release_notes":"Get into the Halloween spirit with Spelling and Phonics!
