K2 phonics games

Ages 5–6

Teaches most letter sounds, blending them into short words like "cat" and "grab".

Play K2 words

Opens Tick or Fix.

By the end of K2 your child is expected to know every letter's name and most letter sounds, including pairs like "ch" and "sh", and to blend sounds into short words — families like "-at", "-en" and "-ug", then words such as "grab". A few sight words like "a", "the" and "to" are learned whole. Kindergarten isn't compulsory in Singapore, so this is a typical K2 rather than a fixed rule.

Checked against Singapore's national kindergarten framework, published by the Ministry of Education. How the words are chosen.

Opening a game from this page sets the school year to K2, and every game then keeps the words at that level — so a K2 child gets K2 words, not a guess. The school year is a tap away inside the game, so a child moving up a year, or a younger sibling taking a turn, changes it in seconds.
