Antura and the Letters
Free smartphone and computer game to teach reading and writing Arabic for refugee children.
Antura and the Letters is a free, playful smartphone and computer game that seamlessly mixes the best entertainment technology with practical Arabic educational content to give kids ages 5 – 10 an engaging learning experience.
Collaborating with expert educators and psychologists, the development team transformed the primary school Arabic literacy curriculum into a fun journey in which kids progress at their own pace, one step at a time. The game rewards players as they increase their Arabic reading skills!
It incorporates a series of games and assessments to support numerous learning outcomes:
- Letter and sound recognition
- Decoding (letters, letter combinations, and words)
- Vocabulary
As it does not need internet access to play, the child can learn anywhere!
