Draw with a finger, mouse or pen. With a keyboard, arrow keys move the circle; Space puts the pen down or lifts it. Pictures are optional.
For the grown-ups

Progress belongs to the child shown above. Use Who is playing on the menu to see another child.
A correct answer with help is still progress. Remembered skills require success on separate days, not a single lucky run. These are learning observations, not a test score or diagnosis.
Available now: 30 keyboard, letter and name lessons in Worlds 1, 2 and 5, letter practice and free storybooks. The other twelve worlds and recorded letter/phonics prompts are not released yet. Written prompts remain available throughout.
Picture of the keyboard
This is a picture. Tapping a key here answers the question, and it does not teach you where that key is on your own keyboard. For that, find it with your finger on the real one.
Tap keys here. Physical key positions need your own keyboard.
