Getting Started with a Few Questions for the Grown-Up.

When you start the game for the first time, there will be a few questions you’ll need to answer to make
sure that ABCs is set to the right difficulty to best serve your child. You’ll be able to change these
answers at any time once you start playing the game.

The settings you’ll be asked to adjust are the following:

Letters:

Easy

My child needs support forming letters and sounds.

Medium

My child knows how to form some letters and sounds.

Hard

My child knows how to form all letters and sounds.
Under that, you’ll be asked about how the game should approach making
pictures.

Pictures:

Guided

My child prefers to be shown where to place the pieces to form their
picture.

Semi-Guided

My child prefers guidance on what pieces they need to place.

Free Form

My child prefers to be creative by choosing their own pieces and building
without guidance

Creation Order

:

Starting with a Letter

I would like my child to always build the letter first and then the pictures

Player’s choice

I would like my child to be able to choose whether they build the letter or
picture first
