The iKnow ABC Adventure App presents an innovative approach to early childhood literacy by engaging children aged 2 to 6 in an interactive learning experience. This application challenges young learners to embark on a global mission to discover hidden animals and their corresponding letters, creating an engaging educational environment.

Designed by award-winning educator Cindy Finelli Coleman, M.Ed., the app captivates children with its story-driven gameplay. Players become the protagonist in an adventure to assist the “SunMoona Pride,” a group of animals facing separation. The challenge involves activating all 26 letters and their associated sounds, promoting phonemic awareness through immersive storytelling.

Incorporating elements from the Moonbeam Gold Medal winning eBook, the iKnow ABC Adventure encourages children to take an active role in their learning journey.
