*Description*

• So much fun children won’t even notice they are practising their spelling, as they help Pip the Parrot get back to his home in the jungle.
• Children will love the vibrant and absorbing gameplay.
• Focuses on words that children commonly find hard to spell, based on the latest research from the team behind the world-famous, market-leading Oxford Dictionaries for children.

*Key Features*

• Thousands of words to spell.
• Children can play again and again, earning stars and practising different words each time.
• Words become gradually more difficult across the eighteen levels.
• The fun ‘arcade-style’ game aids the development of hand-eye coordination. Pip the Parrot follows your finger and flies to the letters floating round the screen to collect them.
• The words that children collect are added to their very own dictionary on the app encouraging children to explore definitions and language.
• Includes the pronunciation of over 3,000 words from the ‘Oxford First Dictionary’.
• Suitable for users and learners of either US or UK English.
• The lively soundtrack can be muted, and audio is not necessary to play the game making it also suitable for those with a hearing impairment.
• Multiple profiles allow several children (and adults!) to progress through the game at different rates.
