- ASSURED: Designed with kids in mind and based on research into how preschoolers learn best

- REPRESENTATION: Akili is a curious and smart four-year-old who wants to learn... the perfect role model for all children

HOW IT WORKS

Select between 16 levels of difficulty from easy to challenging! Each level contains seven rounds of words to spell, placed on a game board, accompanied with images and spoken pronunciations.

In the easier levels, one letter ball will drop away from the word and you'll be challenged to choose the correct letter to fill the gap in the word. In the harder levels, whole words are jumbled up and its a test of your memory and spelling skill to put the words back together!

To arrange the letters, just touch and drag the letter balls. As you drag you will hear the letter name. If you put the letter in the right place it will stay in place. If you get it wrong it will bounce back down to the deck.
