I can easily see this app being used in the classroom and at home to continue young children’s reading journeys. There is also enough difficulty in the app for my proficient 6 year old to get a lot out of using it and backs up a lot of the learning that she is receiving in the classroom. Each of the games relies on the user being able to already read but helps to extend their understanding of the English Language by allowing them to practise the skills learnt through phonics and the Biff, Chip and Kipper Books. These include sentence building, word to picture matching and sound hunting.
In total there are five different games that work on slightly different skills. As mentioned this app is aimed at those children already readers and geared towards helping them to become more proficient with slightly more advanced games. The main content of the app though is where the real quality lies. Where most phonics app look at the beginning of learning to read with sounds and blends this app is the next step after this where children are already readers but need help in becoming more competent readers.

This app in particular is a slightly more advanced app and would fit young children already in their journey in learning how to read.
#Biff chip kipper series
The Biff, Chip and Kipper books are regularly used in schools to help young children learn to read and the developer has a number of apps utilising the Biff, Chip and Kipper series to help young children extend their classroom learning. The design is really well thought out, linking it clearly to the books young people would be familiar with. The usability of the app isn’t the only thing that makes this app simple to use. The gameplay itself in the app is really good which makes it extremely easy to use, however there is a page in the ‘parent’ section of the app that explains how to use it but I would suggest that this will not usually be needed due to accessibility of the app. There are also descriptions of each of the games within the app allowing any potential user to see how the app might be used and what areas of reading it can help with. As mentioned the developer’s website contains a good amount of resources including information on how to get the best out of the app and also includes videos and other resources to help with this. Everything from the design in the app to the developer’s website screams quality and with the illustrations the same as the Biff, Chip and Kipper books the user immediately finds themselves in familiar surroundings, something which immediately gives the app a strong sense of value. While another added: "I always wondered why they called them by those names.Linked closely to the Oxford University Press series of books Biff, Chip and Kipper this app has all the quality you would expect from such an association. One said: "I can’t think how many hundreds of children I have taught and heard read those names - and I’ve never known that!!!" Thousands of people commented on her post, sharing their amazement over the siblings' real names. If you know her please tell her I want to send her a thank you gift!!!" I have been a primary school teacher for 20 years and did not know this! Tell me I'm not the only one. She said: "OK, why did they not teach us this at university? This has blown my mind.
Primary school teacher Kimberley Evans' Facebook post has quickly gone viral, amassing 21k shares since Sunday morning. Her tweet has been shared nearly 5,000 times since Saturday, with others publishing it on Facebook. "And don’t say 4 years old!!! I was precisely today years old. In her tweet, Jo said: "How old were you when you found out Biff, Chip and Kipper were actually called Elizabeth, David and Christopher?
