Tiny Tales

How a sentence is put together. Each prompt is a picture, and your child builds sentences about it from phrase tiles: who, did what, and where.

How it plays

What your child does

  1. Fill the three slots from the tiles and tap Check. Any tile of the right kind counts, so there are many good sentences.
  2. If a tile is in the wrong slot, the game names the kind of word (“That one tells where”), not the word.
  3. Once your child is doing well, they also add the capital letter and an end mark.
  4. Paragraph Path: build three sentences about one picture, then order them under First, Then and Finally.

Three ways to write

Sentence Builder

Four sets of six pictures.

Paragraph Path

Three sentences in order. Opens after 4 stars.

Free Write

Any picture, with tiles or the game’s own keyboard. Never scored.

For grown-ups

Good to know

  • Tales save to My Stuff, titled with the picture’s caption, never your child’s words.
  • Progress reports show only which prompt was played, never what your child wrote.
  • The game saves itself, so your child can stop at any time and pick up where they left off.
