Reviews

Teach reading
SchoolHouse4

After your child has successfully learned his alphabet and sounds, the next natural step is to teach how to put those sounds and letters together to form words. This app is excellent for that. It is not a plain drag the letters to the squares and whatnot, this app actually teaches the power of blending and such. Very thankful for this app. My son is five and has just started to blend, this will give him the needed boost. I recommend this app for beginning readers or check out the level one. Hats off to the developers!

The App I've been looking for
Mrsvedder78

I'm not one to rate apps all the time but I had to with this one. I'm a tutor and I've an 8-year old student whose reading is not up to par yet. I've been seeking an app that's appropriate for his age (as most apps are for younger ages) and that encourages learning how to read through phonetical execution (my term for sounding out the letters) and not by looking at the images and saying the words from memory, which doesn't teach kids how to read at all! I am quite thankful for this app. Please continue to make excellent applications in multiple levels and I will gladly support it.

Not impressed, good concept
Blessedmom&wife

Good concept, but I'm not impressed. The sound is way too low even with volume all the way up. The words used are not easily recognized by kids, like trot, yelp, stag, croc. I plan to uninstall from my iPad 2.

Grill not gril

Just began exploring this app, but I have to say that the creator misspelled gril.

Essential Reading App!

This app the essential skills of blending and sequencing each word for later fluency! Excellent work!

Wait time on re-blending please

Good app. I love the categories. Wonderful for English Language Learners. I am not happy with the short /e/ sound. It is too much like short /a/. Also the idea of the blending game is great. You don't find this concept on many apps. Thanks.....but please slow down giving the word and revealing the picture. Children need processing time. My students get discourage and will not even attempt recoding the word because the app beats them to it.

Sound?
TrukHa

The how to film on it is loud enough, but the activities are way too quiet, can hardly hear them. My iPad volume is all the way up and the app doesn't seem to have a volume control.

Not what I hoped
Corey Dahl

Some sounds are incorrectly pronounced... i.e. /p/ sounds like /s/... I wanted to use this with my struggling students but don't want them to be confused by the wrong sounds... Disappointed.
