Learn first, then play

The learning content follows what US kindergartens teach: lowercase and uppercase letters, phonics, early reading and spelling, and numbers to 100. Kids earn coins by finishing learning games, then spend them on board games, snacks for Zippy and fun surprises in Zippy's room. Every game adapts to your child: it gets a little harder after a few correct answers and gentler after a miss.
