Rosetta Stone® Kids Lingo Letter Sounds – English Reading and Spanish Speaking Ages 3 – 6

Rosetta Stone® Kids Lingo Letter Sounds provides multiple activities that develop young users’ English and Spanish language skills. From the app’s main screen, users are able to pick the different activities they would like to play. Examples of these activities include “Bubbles Letter Sounds” that require users to match letters to pictures. The “Spanish Speak & Learn” activity requires users to pronounce Spanish words correctly. The “Toy Shelf” lets users view and tap different toys and the app will show the toy’s name. As users advance through the levels, from level 1 to levels 2 and 3, the complexity of the activities increase. The “Parent” option provides users control over the settings, and they can view user progress as well.
