Licking Letters

What it is: a simple arcade game teaching letters, words and spelling. What you do with it: help the frog 'lick' the letters and 'spell' the words. What we liked: the concept, nice graphics and animations,simple controls. Additional minigames, good scoring/awards system. What we didn't like: choice of words (too many abstract words, we did not quite understand the choice), app teaches letters (phonics would be better for kids who learn to read - perhaps as an option), game may get boring too quickly (little variety, despite inclusion of the minigames).
