Alphablocks: Learn to Read app for iPhone and iPad

Watch every episode of Alphablocks on your phone or tablet!

ALPHABLOCKS is the BAFTA-nominated BBC preschool TV series that teaches young children to read step by step, from meeting 26 living letters of the alphabet to reading words like ‘alphabet’. Join millions of children worldwide who have fallen in love with letters and words and are getting ready to read.

SUPPORTING FAMILIES. We have made this app to support parents around the world who are home schooling their children. Our aim is to keep the app free for as long as schools remain shut to help you educate and entertain your little learners.

THE BEST WAY TO LEARN. Alphablocks is full of fun and we have a ton of fun making it. It’s also filled with the essential phonics and reading skills a young child needs to master reading, from first meeting the alphabet to reading the word ‘alphabet’. We work closely with phonics experts to make sure this show delivers best-practice curriculum teaching.

FIVE COLOUR-CODED LEVELS:
RED – Phonics First Steps: Master letters and sounds and simple words
ORANGE – Phonics Next Steps: Finish the alphabet and more simple words
YELLOW – Letter Teams: Meet letters that join together to make new sounds
GREEN – Letter Blends: Read longer words with letter blends
BLUE – Long Vowels: See what vowels can do when they get together

*** NUMBERBLOCKS is our award-winning twin show that helps young children fall in love with numbers and learn essential maths skills. Look for the app Numberblocks – Learn Number Skills, now also free. ***

KEEP IT SIMPLE. If your child enjoys the show, they’re learning. Let them watch as much as they want and you’re happy for them to watch. Repeat viewing is great too – it helps all the key phonics ideas sink in. If you have time, talk to them about the show – ask whatever questions you like and before you know it, they’ll be showing you new phonics and reading skills. If you can, read with your child every day. Thousands of people draw, make and play with Alphablocks too – connect with us on social media for inspiration and ideas.

Have a ton of phonics fun and good luck with your home schooling.
