The adventure of learning to read and write for preschoolers goes far beyond simply learning letters. During this exciting phase of their development, children must combine several key skills to conquer the world of words.
Our character Mika takes your child on exciting learning adventures and makes learning about words playful and fun. There are already two learning journeys with Mika.
Find out here what the difference is between the two learning journeys and which one is best suited for your child.
This is what your child will learn with Mika “First Reading & Writing - Level 1”
To be able to read and write, different skills must be combined.
Children need not only knowledge of letters, but above all phonological awareness, which is promoted in a playful way in “First Reading & Writing - Level 1” with Mika.
Phonological awareness is the ability to detach yourself from the content of language and understand how words and sentences are structured. Recognizing that there are long and short words, what the first sound of a word is, and what it sounds like when words rhyme.
Speaking and breaking down words into syllables is also an important part of the preparatory skills for reading and writing. These are precisely the learning focuses of Mika's learning adventure "First Reading & Writing - Level 1."

The reading and writing adventure continues: In addition to the previous skills, it is important to get to know the letters in order to later decipher them in words and sentences.
Mika's learning journey "ABC: The Letters - Level 2" focuses on a holistic approach to letters. Your child will not only learn to write uppercase and lowercase letters according to the official standard forms, but also confidently recognize them and associate them with the corresponding sounds.
Mika's learning adventure “ABC: The Letters - Level 2” is about learning the tools for reading and writing.
