About Letter Hunt
A free phonics game for young children: see the picture, pick the letter it starts with. Sixteen letters, read aloud, with big easy buttons.
Matching a picture to its first sound is the step between knowing the alphabet song and actually reading. The pictures here are all things a young child can name without help - apple, ball, cat, dog - because the game is testing the sound, not the vocabulary. Hearing the word matters as much as seeing it, so the question is spoken by default. Sixteen letters are covered rather than all twenty-six: the ones with clear, unambiguous starting sounds, leaving out the letters whose sound depends on what follows them.
Frequently asked questions
What age is this for?＋
About three to six - anyone working on initial sounds.
Which letters does it use?＋
Sixteen with clear starting sounds. Letters whose sound changes depending on the next letter are left out on purpose.
Is it phonics or letter names?＋
It asks which letter the word starts with, so it works either way - a child can answer by sound or by name.
Does it read the word out?＋
Yes, and you can tap to hear it again as often as you like.
Can they fail?＋
No. There is no timer, no lives, and a wrong pick simply fades.
