The fun, new, FREE App (available for iPhone and iPad) is a seek-and-find digital literacy game for children ages four and up. It encourages kids to look up word clues, search the play screen, expand their vocabulary and discover surprises along the way. The new App has been so well received that it has already earned PAL (Play on Words) Award and the AblePlay Award from the National Lekotek Center for its excellence in speech and language learning, and helping children with special needs.
"I'm excited about how the real world game play of uKloo Early Reader Treasure Hunt has been extended seamlessly into a mobile experience for kids. Smiley Guy Studios has provided animated surprises throughout the game that will keep kids engaged and we've been able to make it a fun experience for kids as they develop their reading ability as they play along," said Doreen Dotto, president of uKloo Kids, Inc. and inventor of uKloo Early Reader Treasure Hunt.
"It's been rewarding to work on a fun project that supports children's literacy," said Jonas Diamond, Executive Producer at Smiley Guy Studios. "We enjoyed helping translate the award-winning uKloo into the digital world, and we are excited about developing and adding more play screens to the uKloo experience."
