What your child does
A picture appears with two letters missing, like _ _ ip. Your child taps the speaker to hear the word, then picks the digraph. Correct answers fill in the word with the letter team underlined. The last level has them read digraph words on their own.
The skill it builds
The consonant digraphs sh, ch, th and wh. The cat gives a clue for each sound, like "sh says shhh, like a finger on your lips."
The game's listing notes align it to Common Core RF.1.2.C, RF.1.3.A, RF.1.3.B.
