Education Free Al Bailey iPhone, iPad, iPod

It is aimed at children who are comfortable reading and forming CVC words.

Recognising and forming blends is the next step towards literacy. This app focusses on beginning blends such as the 'bl' at the start of blue and the 'cr' at the start of crayon.

As always, there are several mini games to introduce, repeat and review each of the blends.

Features include:

•Two specially designed fonts to choose from
•Mulitple user accounts for those with more than one child
•Adults can unlock all levels to practise the parts they want to
•All words and sounds are repeated a lot to help children memorize
•No ads, no in-app purchases, no data is collected

The blends introduced here will be used to form longer words in Kids Phonics 4.

Note: some digraphs like 'sh' and 'ch' are included.

Great apps!

I would recommend all the apps developed by Al Bailey. They are colorful, have pleasant music, and engaging. They teach the specific phonics skills I want my students to learn. I am awaiting the "magic e" app.
