Fun Picture Words is a set of short reading puzzles for grades 1 and 2, with Poss Jonah and the Possum Holler gang. Do five puzzles, earn stars, finish a lesson, unlock a sticker and give your Pet Pal a treat.
How it works
One puzzle at a time. Stories always fit on one screen.
Tap any word to hear it (uses your device's own voice).
Kind feedback. No lives, no buzzers, no timers.
Five skills: Sound It Out, Sight Words, Tiny Stories, Build a Sentence, and Punctuation & Capitals.
Two levels, 30 lessons each: Grade 1 (short vowels, first sight words, short sentences) and Grade 2 (blends, silent e, vowel teams, longer stories, capitals for names and commas in dates). A grown-up picks the level on the Grown-ups screen.
Six units, 60 lessons: six lessons for each skill at each level, five puzzles per lesson, 300 puzzles in all.
Free, with no tracking
Fun Picture Words is free. There is no account and nothing to buy. Progress stays on your own device. We don't use ad networks or analytics. Between lessons we show a small note about our own books and apps; its links open only after a grown-up holds a button.
Fun Picture Words is a practice game. It is not a substitute for schoolwork or for advice from a teacher.
Who makes it
Fun Picture Words is made by Albert Jones as part of Help-Pal, a family of simple, free apps for everyday jobs.
