What does my child learn with EDURINO?

Mika the Fox is ideal for children who are eager to develop a strong foundation in phonics.
It's tailored to young learners who are ready to explore letters and their sounds in more depth and improve reading fluency.
Designed together with teachers to align to the national UK curriculum.
If your child already owns Niki the Bird, Mika is a great next step as it's a more advanced option going beyond basic vocabulary building.

Identifying sounds in words

Your child learns to listen carefully and memorise sounds. Mika encourages them to pick out sounds at the beginning, middle and end of a word and strengthens their understanding of the phonetic structure of words.

Learning the forms and shapes of letters

When preparing for reading and writing, it is important to differentiate between the content and appearance of words and letters and to look at them separately. Your child is taught to recognise the formation of a letter and to distinguish between them based on their structure.

Writing letters correctly

Your child learns to write letters in the correct directional shapes and to hold the ergonomic pen in a relaxed position. Our ergonomic pen helps with refining fine motor skills.

Recognising upper and lower case letters

Mika introduces concepts, which are fundamental for later reading and writing proficiency. Recognising upper and lower case letters and their shapes is encouraged in order to internalise the distinction and connections.

My child already has Niki - should they try Mika or is is the same?

If your child already enjoys Niki, exploring Mika could be a great next step in their learning journey. While Niki focuses on building a basic vocabulary, Mika delves deeper into the world of letters and their sounds, making it a more advanced option.

Mika's emphasis on phonics skills, such as identifying letters, understanding their sounds, and segmenting words to recognise these sounds, can significantly enhance your child's literacy development. By engaging with Mika, your child will not only expand their vocabulary but also develop crucial phonics skills with letter-sound relationships.

Mika introduces concepts such as recognising capital and lowercase letters, which are fundamental for later reading and writing proficiency. Its focus on grapheme-phoneme correspondences lays a strong foundation for reading fluency.
