How to play:

1- The game announces a word by name, and the sounds of each letter/letter combination making up that word in order.

2- Each letter/letter combination is represented as an empty box at the bottom of the screen. During the announcement, each box glows as its sound is announced.

3- A letter of the word drops down, and kids have to tilt the device to guide it into the correct box.

4- If the answer is correct, fireworks show and another letter falls down.

5- Kids can also tap the empty boxes or the falling letter to hear the sound it makes.

6- When all boxes are filled, each sound is announced again in order, with the letters in each box, reinforcing the sound associated with each letter.
