Kids enjoy practising counting and alphabetical order with DotToDot number whiz.

You can choose what they practice or use the app’s age-based defaults. A four-year-old might practise counting “1,2,3...” on a simplified set of dot-to-dot puzzles designed for younger fingers. If they touch the right dot, the app says the number. If they touch the wrong dot, the dot wriggles to let them know and the correct dot draws attention to itself. Their exploratory play teaches them the correct order and they begin to associate the spoken number with its written form. As they complete each puzzle the app celebrates their success.

Five-year-olds might practice their letter names and alphabetical order. If they touch the correct dot, the letter name is said. If they touch the wrong dot, it wriggles and the correct dot draws attention to itself. DotToDot number whiz complements our award-winning abc PocketPhonics (which teaches letter sounds). Teaching letter names in a different context to letter sounds, follows best educational practice and greatly reduces the risk of children becoming confused between letter sounds and names. We’d recommend that your kids learn their letter sounds first in abc PocketPhonics as these are a key step on the road to learning to read. You can choose though.

For an older child, you might select counting in 9s with more complicated dot-to-dot puzzles and without the app saying the numbers. You can switch the timer on and they can compete against themselves and their siblings as to who can get the best scores up on the leaderboard. Increase the challenge, by making them beat the unlock time to move onto the next puzzle.

Kids either touch the dots individually (great for accuracy) or drag their finger between dots (can be faster, but easier to make mistakes). When they’ve finished the puzzle, a colourful, original picture is revealed.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Children aged between 4 and 9.
