Giggle Academy has announced the launch of several new phonics games in its educational app, aimed at helping children practice beginning and ending sounds through interactive play.
According to Giggle Academy’s official post on X, the newly launched phonics games—such as Sound Monsters and Basketball Phonics—are designed to help children match beginning sounds and score points through play. This initiative taps into the educational trend of using gamified learning to reinforce phonemic awareness, a skill widely recognized as foundational for early reading development. By embedding phonics into gameplay, the app transforms traditional phonemic drills into immersive, engaging experiences.
The announcement highlights that Sound Monsters allows kids to match beginning sounds and watch monsters gobble up letters, while Basketball Phonics challenges players to tap the correct initial sound and score points, blending literacy with dynamic game mechanics. These game designs encourage active learning—kids must listen, identify, and act quickly, reinforcing sound-letter associations through repeated interaction. This method supports cognitive retention by coupling phonemic concepts with visual and kinetic feedback.
