I Know Phonics FREE

These are actually a series of five apps for iPhone: ABCs, Consonants 1 and 2, and Vowels 1 and 2. It’s the only complete phonics program that I found, plus it’s super cartoony and fun. It’s got word search, picture-word match, vibrant stories, and more. Most phonics apps don’t go any farther than the basics, but this series goes deeper. Not to mention, they are beautifully done.
