Solecito

Solecito is a warm, Spanish-first phonics app that teaches young children to read, sound by sound. It's built on explicit phonics, the same method reading teachers use, and takes kids from a single letter sound all the way to reading their first little stories. Climb a friendly mountain across 5 worlds and 30 levels. In every level your child: • Hears each letter's true sound, recorded in a warm, native Spanish voice • Traces the letter with a finger or Apple Pencil, with a gentle guide that appears when they need help • Blends sounds into syllables, then into real words • Reads a decodable mini-book and rebuilds its sentences word by word • Earns stars for accuracy and grows a collection of charming illustrated rewards Deeper learning, gently: • Smart review: words your child misses come back another day in a quick "repaso" • Karaoke reading: each word lights up as the story is read aloud • "Grábate": your child records themselves reading and hears their own voice back • "Palabras gemelas" celebrate words English and Spanish share (tomate, piano, mapa…) • "Léelo tú" listens to your child read a word aloud and gives gentle, encouraging feedback, all on the device • Spanish-first, with the English meaning under every word, so kids always know what they're reading • A calm, low-pressure pace: no timers, no streaks, no way to lose Made for families: • Leer juntos: pass-the-iPad co-reading where child and grown-up alternate pages • A garden that grows a flower each day your child reads. Flowers never wilt. • El descanso de Solecito: an optional play limit that ends with a sweet sunset good-night ritual instead of a struggle • Parent panel: progress at a glance, plus printable versions of every story your child has earned • Calm mode for sensory-sensitive kids: soft celebrations, no vibrations • 100% on device and fully offline. No account, no ads, no analytics. Nothing ever leaves your iPad. • Purchases and settings are protected behind a parental gate. Free to start; one-time purchases unlock more worlds. No subscription, ever. Perfect for bilingual families, Spanish immersion and dual-language learners, and anyone raising a brand-new reader. ¡Vamos a leer!
