Phonics Awareness, 1st Grade

Phonics Awareness is a comprehensive, low cost educational app based on the pre-reading skills 1st graders must have as they move from hearing sounds, into seeing the letter as a representation for the sound. This is the beginning of true phonics learning. Teachers can easily integrate these lessons into their lesson prep in the Common Core. All instructions are given verbally, and students receive immediate feedback, thereby helping students to achieve grade level.

The Common Core Foundational Skills 1st Grade states:
Demonstrate understanding of spoken words, syllables, and sounds
(phonemes).
a. Distinguish long from short vowel sounds in spoken single-syllable words.
b. Orally produce single-syllable words by blending sounds (phonemes),
including consonant blends.
c. Isolate and pronounce initial, medial vowel, and final sounds (phonemes) in
spoken single-syllable words.
d. Segment spoken single-syllable words into their complete sequence of
individual sounds (phonemes).

All of these foundational skills are covered in this Phonics Awareness app, making it very usable in any first grade school core program. Over 400,000 people agree. Phonics Awareness is an app any teacher or parent can trust! The check yourself section allows the parent or teacher to see the child’s progress on these skills, allowing them to catch up or keep up with their peers. Using this section as a pretest will target the student’s individual needs.

Annoyed

Simply can’t get the login from their website so for now I can’t use the app. I’ve reloaded the app twice but both times when I get to their site it gets stuck loading.

Happy

No exit button?

How come there is no "Exit button" in each section like 'vowels' or anything else..we have to use back button..all the way to go back to home menu..Ridiculous mistake!!!

Too much talking

There was too much explanation before my kids could start the game. Additionally, the talking really slows down the pace of the game. Consequently, my kids were not interested in playing.

Exit bottom has been fixed

Update 1.1 has an Exit button and has also added a Replay button to give more flexible navigation.

Froze. WORTHLESS

game worked fine for a while, then said to update a few weeks ago & is just froze. It has shown to update for weeks, yet nothing happens. Have contacted them, but received NO REPLY. AVOID. WHATEVER YOU DO, don't waste $$ on it.

Wonderful!

My 4 and 5 year olds love it. Plus I like the guy talking like a teacher, it helps me too, know good ways to teach my kids at home. Just wondered why I can't skip a certain question? Maybe it's me?
