About this app

Phonics Race turns reading practice into a car collection adventure! Designed for kids ages 4–6 who love Hot Wheels, LEGO, and anything with wheels.

YOUR CHILD WILL:
• See a picture clue and spell the word by tapping letters
• Watch their race car zoom across the track with each correct letter
• Earn a new collectible car every 3 words
• Build a garage of 38 cars across 6 themed series
• Progress through 6 phonics levels — from 3-letter words to long vowels

6 CAR SERIES TO COLLECT:
🏎️ Classic Racers — 3-letter CVC words (cat, dog, sun)
🛻 Monster Trucks — 4-letter words (fish, frog, moon)
🧱 Lego Speedsters — Silent-e words (cake, bike, wave)
🏁 Supercars — Consonant blends (truck, brick, snow)
🚑 Emergency Fleet — Digraphs (ship, chain, tooth)
🚜 Off-Road Beasts — Long vowels (beach, tiger, piano)

PARENTS LOVE IT BECAUSE:
✓ Completely FREE — no in-app purchases, ever
✓ No ads of any kind
✓ No data collection — COPPA compliant
✓ Works 100% offline — no internet needed
✓ No accounts or sign-ups
✓ Parental reset control in settings

Phonics Race isn't an app that teaches reading through cars. It's a car game that happens to teach reading. For kids who won't sit through flashcards but will do anything to earn the next Hot Wheels — this is for them.

Built by a parent. For a kid who just needed the right reason to read.

What’s new

New: Strike limit! • 3 wrong letter taps = word fails (you'll see "Oops!" and move on)
• 2 failed words = no car this round, cycle resets
• Red dots show remaining chances for each word

Encourages kids to read letters carefully instead of speed-tapping. Previously earned cars are always safe.
