WordHop: Kids Phonics Match

About

Hear the sound. Find the picture. That's the whole loop. WordHop teaches English reading to children ages 6 to 8 the way schools actually teach it — by sound, not by memorising whole words. A letter sound plays, pictures appear, and the child taps the one that starts with it. Correct answers celebrate. Wrong answers simply try again. No scores, no timers, no losing. WHAT'S INSIDE • 45 lessons across 9 units — A real synthetic-phonics sequence built on the Letters and Sounds progression used in primary classrooms. Units move from the first four sounds (s, a, t, p) through digraphs (ch, sh, th) to long vowel teams (igh, oa) and the two sounds of "oo". Each unit builds only on sounds already taught. • Sounds first, then blending — The app speaks individual letter sounds, not letter names, so a child hears /s/ as in "sat" rather than "ess". Then it blends them into whole words. This is the step most matching apps skip. • 53 original illustrations — Every picture was drawn for this app in one consistent cut-paper style. No stock art, no clip art, no photos. • Four activity types — Match the first sound, blend and match, read the whole word, and flash cards for the tricky words English refuses to spell phonetically. • Parental gate — Anything that leaves the learning loop (Settings, purchase, restore, external links) is behind an arithmetic or number puzzle a young child cannot solve. Purchases cannot happen by accident. • Free tier — The first 3 lessons are free forever. No time limit, no ad to watch. DESIGNED FOR KIDS, HONESTLY • No ads. Ever. • No third-party analytics. No tracking. No attribution SDK. • No account, no login, no cloud sync. • No web access, no social sharing, no chat. • Works fully offline — every lesson and illustration ships inside the app. • Family Sharing is included on both plans. PRIVACY FIRST — DATA NOT COLLECTED WordHop's App Privacy label is Data Not Collected. There is no backend server, no analytics SDK and no attribution SDK. Purchases use Apple's standard billing — WordHop itself has no server that ever sees your child. PRICING Free: the first 3 lessons, forever, with no ads. Two ways to unlock the remaining 42 lessons: • Lifetime — $19.99, one-time purchase, never renews, Family Sharing included. • Yearly — $9.99 per year, auto-renewing subscription, Family Sharing included.
