Papaya Phonics for Uganda is an educational app for letter sounds in English and Uganda Local Languages.

Papaya helps primary school teachers and pupils learn the relationships between the letters of written languages and the sounds of spoken language.

Pupils are taught, for example, that the letter “a” represents the sound /a/, and that it is the first letter in words such as “apple”.

Papaya gives primary school teachers and pupils practical basics of phonics skills, including recognizing the letters of the alphabets, learning upper case and lower case letters, alphabet matching, and word building.

The goal of Papaya is to help beginning readers to blend the sound-spelling patterns. It helps pupils/teachers work on practicing the alphabetic principle and helps prepare the pupils to get ready to read.
