About Letter Muncher

Designed and tested by educators and parents of young children, Letter Muncher will help your child build vocabulary while mastering the essential skills of identifying initial consonant sounds and the letter or letters that represent them.

In each round, the player is asked to choose which of five items should be fed to the hungry Letter Muncher and which go into the recycle bin. But be careful! This little monster is a picky eater and will munch only those things that begin with a given letter sound.

With the VOICING feature activated, a quick tap on an image will play the name of that image. A tap on the letter signpost will name its letter or consonant digraph and the sound it makes.

Letter Muncher includes well over 500 kid-friendly images for 24 initial sounds, controls for varying levels of support and difficulty, and individual reports of progress on the game's learning objectives for up to six players.

This game is right for your child when he or she is beginning to understand the concept of sound-symbol correspondence, a skill that is generally introduced at the kindergarten level and reinforced and mastered throughout the early elementary school years.
