The Read in Russian iPhone app is incredibly child-friendly with touch controls that are responsive and smooth. They still may need the help of an adult as they first get to know the interactive games. The three different areas they will be working on is to remember the vowels, remember the syllables, and the form words from them. As mentioned before, they are given cute rewards at the end of each level all of which have to do with interactive forest animals.
