FirstWords: At Home Reviews

Great app for learning everyday words

lovenlife227

This my favorite app because it teaches kids the words for everyday objects that we use around the house and the words are spelled using lower case letters. Keep the great apps coming! -------- Could you have an option where the letters say their phonics sounds instead of their name for pre-readers? -------

Excellent teacher of early reading skills

Simple to use. Pronunciation is very clear, and good volume. Illustrations are very inviting (though not entirely realistic). Some of the sounds are clearly authentic. Some may not be. The sounds are not as strong a motivator as they are in the First Words: Animals app. Animation of the illustrations is not realistic. (They all twirl and get larger. None do more than that.) There are five options available to tailor the app's difficulty. (See screenshots.) The "Get More Words" selection just takes you to a screen describing the other apps in the series. The "Send Us Feedback" selection presents you with a communications form to fill out, which presumably you can use to get support, as well as just commenting on the app. This series of apps is the best I've seen in the App Store for early reading skills. (But admittedly, I haven't looked at all that many.)

Bravo!!

Very motivating! Great for speech therapy.

I'm using it for speech therapy with young children. They love the spinning items. I like how I can get many responses from kids by adjusting the settings and having the last part of the page go faster. SLPs, be sure to check out the settings options!

Please update!

My daughter loves this app, but we haven’t been able to use it since I updated my iPad’s OS. Please update!
