Plus, it will also allow the kids to improve their vocabulary while developing their reading skills. 

The process of learning how to read can be a little challenging for most kids. So, once your kid gives a thumbs up to the 26 letters and the sounds of the alphabet, it is time to begin their reading lessons. Most importantly, you should make sure to help your kid understand that the letters they have learned might not behave as expected when it comes to making words with them. There would be silent consonants and vowels, the same letter producing different sounds, and much more. No wonder English is a very quirky language.

Dolch words refer to high-frequency English vocabulary. These words help prepare your kids to read. Once the kids learn to recognize them on their own, their reading will become fluent. Dolch words are also known as sight words, and they comprise around 50% to 70% of the English vocabulary of reading materials in grade school. Plus, kids and adults with learning difficulties like dyslexia can also benefit from sight words.

Benchmarks of mobile game genres (retention, session time, ARPPU and stickiness)

GameAnalytics named the most common mobile game genres, and also told whether retention, session size, ARPPU and project stickiness depend on the genre.

Last week, the GameAnalytics analytics platform published the Mobile Gaming Benchmarks, an analysis of mobile game genres.

Most common mobile game genres

GameAnalytics learns about the genre of the game when it is registered by the developer on the platform. Based on the data obtained, the company was able to find out which games are the most on the market today.

Distribution of the total number of games by genre (2017)

The situation changes slightly every year. Some genres get more projects, others less. For example, children's applications (Kids) in 2017 have become much more popular.

Trends in genre popularity by number of games on the market

The uncompromising leader in terms of the number of projects is the genre of action products (Action). In both 2016 and 2017, it accounted for more than 20% of the gaming titles on the mobile market. At the same time, its share among other genres has grown the most in recent years.

Game genre distribution dynamics

But, for example, the share of racing games relative to other genres fell from March 2016 to September 2017, as did the share of family games. This trend was also true for children's games until May 2017, when, according to GameAnalytics, they began to boom. nine0003

Seventh day retention

The most important metric, retention, is considered by GameAnalytics in the classic way: dividing the number of active users on the seventh day after installing users by the total number of those who installed the game on the first day (that is, we have a situation where on a certain N users (X) downloaded the game on the seventh day, only a part of them (Y) remained active on the seventh day.To find out the retention of the project, we need to divide Y by X).

GameAnalytics only counted and compared genre retention on the seventh day. Despite this, she came to curious conclusions. nine0003

Good retention rates for the project are considered to be:

• Day 1: 35-40%
• Day 3: 20-25%
• Day 7: 15%
• Day 30: 5%

But in fact, only the top 16% of projects can boast that in their games the retention of 7 days is more than 10%. Among all games, it is 4%.

Comparison of 7 day retention between top 16% games, median and games with lowest parameter value

Word games (Word), social casinos, card projects (Card) and board games (Board) show the best retention. Action and Adventure products have very low scores. Children's games have the worst metrics.

Dynamics of 7-day average retention by genre

Session size in mobile games

Average session size in mobile games is 6 minutes. But for the top 16% of projects, it reaches 11.5 minutes. But there is a caveat: how much a player spends on average in a project depends on the season. nine0003

Comparison of the average session between the top 16% of games, the median and the games with the lowest parameter value

Seasonality is especially visible if you segment the dynamics of the change in the average session by genre. The graph below clearly shows how the time spent in the game fluctuates depending on the season and genre. It is also clear that the session reaches its peak in December-January.

Dynamics of the distribution of the average session size by genre

ARPPU in mobile games

One of the most important metrics for business is how much the user leaves in the product, who was still ready to part with his money.

According to GameAnalytics, the average paying player revenue for the top 16% of games in the summer of 2017 hovered around $50. In a year and a half, it has grown significantly. In January 2016, it was $30.

The ARPPU value for all games did not change much over the indicated years. It was $5-7, and is still at this level. nine0003

Comparison of ARPPU between the top 16% of games, median and games with the lowest value of the parameter

The ARPPU graph by genre is the noisiest, but, as the report notes, this can also be found on the positive side. While the difference between the top and all titles in terms of earnings varies greatly, there is no such difference in profitability between genres. It depends more not on what type of game you decide to make, but on the quality of the gameplay and monetization. However, it is obvious that despite this, it is best to earn from users with strategies (Strategy). nine0003

Dynamics of ARPPU distribution by genre

Stickiness of mobile games

The basic metric that reflects the involvement of users in the game is stickiness (Stickiness or Sticky Factor). It is typically measured as the ratio of Daily Active Users (DAU) to Monthly Active Users (MAU).

As in the case of ARPPU, the graph below shows that the "stickiness" of top projects only grows over time, but both the average value for the market and the value of the weakest projects stagnate. nine0003

Comparison of stickiness between the top 16% of games, median and games with the lowest value of the parameter

In general, the top 16% projects stickiness is 2 times higher than the market average.

The most "sticky" genres are social casinos, card projects, board and word games. They have it from 14% to 16%. For most other genres, the average value of this metric does not even reach 10%.

Dynamics of the distribution of "genres" by genres

How was the study?

In total, the company has data on 40,000 titles. Analysts took active titles for the period from January 2016 to September 2017 by the most popular genres. So they got a database of 12,000 games. Projects with DAUs less than 100 were removed from this selection. We looked at the indicators for the rest.

Important: 80% of the games in the collection belonged to five genres: action, arcade (Arcade), simulator (Simulation), puzzle (Puzzle) and adventure.

You can play "tow-rvakl", and not shout out the answer, but for every 4-6 children lay out a set of 16 cards, and let everyone write out those rhymes that they find among this set of cards.

PAKLA-RVAKLA - a game with rhymes

You can lay out 12-15 cards from the game "read-grab" for each group of children and invite them to compose stories, orally or in writing, about one of the cards.
Whoever wrote his story, say "Once upon a time there was a cat, he sawed a watermelon", then lays out his story, and everyone looks for this card. Then we change this card, and look for the next one. nine0156
read-grab stories

Children can be asked to choose pairs of 2 cards with adjectives from the soft sign game, to which they know 2-3 different solutions.
Let's say, what is tasty and soft?
What is red and rubber?
And we post such pairs of cards with adjectives on the board, and invite everyone to come up with 2-3 solutions for each pair.
You can hang cards with adjectives from the game "Soft Sign" and cards with some animals and pictures from the loto - and invite children to come up with the funniest phrases:
"black striped giraffe", "empty rubber elephant", etc.

Soft sign

You can play with consonants in a variety of ways.
Here, for example, cubes with consonants from the game "Proleters".
We roll all the dice, write down all these consonants on the board - and ask the class to write down words with these consonants.

letters

You can invite everyone to upload pictures from sticks, strings and coins - to one word from each card from the game "words". nine0156 And then go around and guess what others have posted

words

The game "triple nonsense" is an almost ready-made lesson-quest.
We hang or lay out cards around the perimeter of the class, and give each one his own task.
One collects phrases like "Who does what", the other searches for "Which who does what where", the third collects phrases starting with the letter "M", the fourth - with the letter "P". The fifth one comes up with any phrases of 4 words.

triple nonsense

Memory game "Figuratively speaking" - one of the variants of the game with proverbs. nine0156 You can invite everyone to choose a card and come up with a situation in which it would be appropriate to use this saying.

Figuratively speaking - a game with proverbs
At the seminar I showed more halves of proverbs and wonderful sets of "proverbs in bags", but I don't remember if I showed these proverbs in LiveJournal.

The word is not a sparrow - a versatile game.
You can compose stories using cards - like story cubes, or you can remember proverbs and sayings.

Recording of a past webinar about games with letters and words

The recording of the last seminar, longer and more detailed, is also ready.
Write if relevant - I'll throw a link.
