Endless Reader
Animated words are built letter by letter, dropped into short sentence puzzles and then acted out in a little scene.
Each word animates as it is assembled and then has to be slotted into a sentence. A short scene follows that shows the word in use. The emphasis is on recognizing words and their meanings more than on sounding them out.
