About this app

A child’s first step toward reading is a strong understanding of phonemes – the sounds that make up words. We designed Professor Pup’s Phoneme Farm as a kid-friendly app that builds this foundation for reading success! Our phoneme app immerses children in a farm-themed setting filled with songs, games, and characters that make the learning process fun.

Professor Pup guides kids through forty-nine hands-on lessons, providing encouragement and correction whenever needed. With our easy-to-use parent dashboard, you can adjust the app’s settings to suit your child’s needs. Phoneme Farm is a learning experience that kids can enjoy independently or with a parent! Please note that Professor Pup’s Phoneme Farm app works for tablets and smart phones!

About Professor Pup’s Phoneme Farm App

Developmentally Appropriate
Professor Pup’s Phoneme Farm is based on leading research in the field of early childhood
education. The program was developed using developmentally appropriate practices and
evidence-based approaches that stress the significance of building early phonemic awareness skills.

Engaging Activities
Set amidst a delightful farm setting, Professor Pup’s Phoneme Farm app includes engaging activities to help children experience and practice the full spectrum of phonemic awareness skills. These important skills include beginning, ending and medial phoneme recognition, blending/segmenting, rhyming and phoneme manipulation. Professor Pup’s support and guidance provide the immediate, individualized feedback that children need to experience success and build confidence.

Scaffolded Curriculum
The program begins with phoneme discrimination activities that address initial vowel and
consonant sounds. Once students have acquired these skills, they move on to working with more complex ending and medial sounds. Blending and segmenting are next, followed lastly by phoneme manipulation, which is the process of deletion and substitution of initial phonemes to create new words. In addition to these activities, Phoneme Farm includes a rhyming component that can be accessed at any time.
