Do you know your ABCs? With 2 fun and educational activities, Kumon Uppercase ABCs is designed to help your child learn to write uppercase letters and recognize the sound of each letter.

From Kumon, the worlds largest supplemental learning provider and parent to Kumon Math & Reading Centers, the Uppercase ABCs app includes a Letter Tracing Activity (with our unique and simple method of tracing letters) and a Letter Sounds Game (match the written letter with its sound read aloud).

LEARNING TO WRITE LETTERS
The letter tracing activity helps your child master the uppercase alphabet. The Uppercase ABCs app features an innovative 3-step approach with interactive sights, sounds, and touch:

Stage 1: Inside an outline of the letter, your child traces each numbered stroke in the order shown, starting with the circle, along the dotted line, and ending at the star
Stage 2: The circle and star disappear, but the dotted line remains for your child to trace
Stage 3: The dotted line is removed, and your child writes the letter on their own within the outline

Choose from 3 modes: alphabetical, random, or Kumon. Using the unique Kumon method will show letters to your child in order of complexity. This innovative approach helps your child master the easier letters such as L and T first before moving on to more challenging letters with diagonal or curved lines.

REINFORCEMENT AND REWARDS
In Kumon Uppercase ABCs, each letter is paired with a delightful interactive illustration of a familiar word so children learn the basic phonics that lay the foundation for reading.

When the letter "D" is correctly traced, for example, the app will show a dog. The movable image is fun for your child to play with, but also reinforces the sound and use of the letter.

When your child successfully completes all of the letters, they will receive a special Certificate of Achievement. You can customize the certificate with their name and email it for printing.

MATCHING LETTERS WITH SOUNDS
In this activity, your child can practice matching the sound of each letter with its written symbol. The app asks aloud, "Touch the letter that makes the sound R" and your child chooses from 3 on-screen letters.

If the incorrect letter is tapped, the letter sound will repeat until the correct letter is chosen. When your child chooses the correct letter, its sound and name will be repeated to reinforce the knowledge before the next letter is shown.
