Lantern Isle

reading · phonics · letter sounds · blending · first words

Lumi the firefly needs help: Lantern Isle has gone grey and quiet. Children hear sounds, meet letters, blend them into words and read them, and every word they read comes to life on the island. A grown-up can turn on read-aloud, which listens on the device and never records.
