Monalo School
The centre of everything. What the school is, who it serves, and how each part keeps students learning.
Go to Monalo SchoolHow Eco Penguin teaches reading
Phonics first: the sounds letters make, then the words they build. No pressure, no timers to beat.
- 1
Listen and tap
Your child hears a letter sound, then taps the balloon that matches. Short rounds that fit into any spare moment.
- 2
Build real words
From letter sounds to blending, segmenting, digraphs and sight words, one small step at a time.
- 3
Unlock the next set
Letters come in four groups, starting with s a t p i n. Finish a group to earn a sticker and open the next.
Try it now. No account needed.
Sit down with your child and play a room together. Sign up later if you want stars and stickers saved.
Made with grown-ups in mind
See how they are doing
A progress view shows which letters and words your child has mastered and what is coming next.
Keeps going on a weak connection
Sounds and pictures are saved on the device as your child plays, so a patchy signal does not stop the game.
A school behind it
Eco Penguin is made by Monalo School. What the school earns goes back into helping students learn.
