Phoneme Farm: Kids Reading App

A child’s first step toward reading is a strong understanding of phonemes – the sounds that make up words. We designed Professor Pup’s Phoneme Farm as a kid-friendly app that builds this foundation for reading success! Our phoneme app immerses children in a farm-themed setting filled with songs, games, and characters that make the learning process fun.

“Professor Pup’s Phoneme Farm is a great place to visit to work on beginning phonemic awareness and phonics skills! Featuring fun, animated listening activities for identifying sounds at the beginning, middle, and end of words, this is a hit with my students! The app also helps work on rhyming, sound blending, segmentation, sound manipulation, and deletion. I really like the engaging graphics, narrator, and option to select the specific skills you want to work on!”
-Laura Jiencke, Bluebee Pals

Professor Pup guides kids through forty-nine hands-on lessons, providing encouragement and correction whenever needed.

About Professor Pup’s Phoneme Farm App

Developmentally Appropriate
Professor Pup’s Phoneme Farm is based on leading research in the field of early childhood education. The program was developed using developmentally appropriate practices and evidence-based approaches that stress the significance of building early phonemic awareness skills.

Engaging Activities
Set amidst a delightful farm setting, Professor Pup’s Phoneme Farm app includes engaging activities to help children experience and practice the full spectrum of phonemic awareness skills. These important skills include beginning, ending and medial phoneme recognition, blending/segmenting, rhyming and phoneme manipulation. Professor Pup’s support and guidance provide the immediate, individualized feedback that children need to experience success and build confidence.

Scaffolded Curriculum
The program begins with phoneme discrimination activities that address initial vowel and consonant sounds. Once students have acquired these skills, they move on to working with more complex ending and medial sounds. Blending and segmenting are next, followed lastly by phoneme manipulation, which is the process of deletion and substitution of initial phonemes to create new words. In addition to these activities, Phoneme Farm includes a rhyming component that can be accessed at any time. Show More
