Twenty screens are full of silly, fun high frequency words and original Dr. Seuss illustrations, in this early reading experience. This is a "Read and Play" version of the story, meaning you can freely explore each page, tapping any illustration or word to see the printed label and hear a clear pronunciation. A star is hidden in the illustrations, allowing you to play with one of 12 short structured phonics games. As a result, this is an excellent app for beginning readers of English because of the way that it mixes light structured practice with new vocabulary. Be sure to explore the parent options where you can toggle on/off the Read To Me features. There's also an Auto Play feature. Other features include the ability to track minutes spent reading, and see which pages were read. Content includes 12 mini-games, including Memory Match, Jigsaw Puzzle, and Word Search and Sequence. Need to know: If you're looking for a rich story, this is not your app. This is better used for developing early decoding skills.
