Alphabet Zoo

Alphabet Zoo turns letter practice into a zoo tour. An animal appears on the screen with the first letter of its name highlighted — Alligator for A, Bear for B, and so on — and the child types the letter to unlock the next animal. The game walks through the whole alphabet from A to Z, so by the end of a single session the child has pressed every letter key at least once. Because the animals change on every letter, kids stay curious about what comes next instead of getting bored. Hearing each animal's name aloud while typing also pairs the letter shape with a letter sound, which is the same pairing phonics lessons use in kindergarten. This game fits kindergarten and 1st grade students who already know their letters and are ready to match each letter to its spot on the keyboard.
