SPEECH GAMES
Voice-powered games where talking is the controller. No pressure, no losing - every sound your child makes moves the game forward.

SPEECH PRACTICE TOOLS

Version History Little fixes that make a big difference:

• Dig & Place (the construction word game) had a stuck spot — tapping
the glowing zone on "Put it ON!" didn't count. Now every round plays
through to the big finish.
• Tidied the toyroom: removed a toy chest that pointed to an old,
retired corner of the app.
• The grown-ups area now always opens full-screen — no more half-size
screen after the free week.
• Link to new app for bedtime, Sleepy Train, now says hello in the
grown-ups corner.

Young Reader uses shorter sentences, larger text, and more repetition, while the original keeps the full, richer language. Young Reader still includes a few gentle “stretch” words like “weaves” on purpose, so you can match the reading level to your child’s stage. 1.0.4 11/21/2025 What’s New in Little Wheels: Talk & Listen
