I really like this app! It's great to use in my small groups. They think we're just playing a game :). I especially like that you can adjust it to manually change the words to give the kiddos a chance to practice sounding it out on their own. The art work is darling!


Weird!

This app does not actually sound out the letters?? Is there a way for me to access that option or is that not what this app does?


Thanks for new features

I'm a first grade teacher with a daughter in kindergarten. I was looking for an app that would help her grow her phonics skills. By the time your kiddo gets to first grade they should be able to sound out CVC words. This app is great for 4 and 5 year olds and those 6 & 7 year olds who are struggling with reading. I like how there are different levels for your child's skill set to grow. For example one skill set shows the kids how to spell the words so they just drag the sounds to make the word. Another skill set is the word is read and the child has to sound it out. I also like how it's a child's voice that does the letter sound when the tile is touched. The graphics are great too and the drawings are too cute for words. What I'm confused by is when your child spells the word wrong and they have to redo it the game doesn't recognize the correction and won't grab the tiles. So your child can't get the satisfaction of fixing the mistake. Also the short-o and short-u sound don't sound correct to me. It should be more pronounced for young ears to hear it and mimic it. I'd also like to see the word sounded and blended together once the child is done spelling it. Overall as a teacher and a mom I approve of the app. It would get the fifth star if those things mentioned would be fixed. I'm pleased with my purchase and happy to support a fellow teacher's app. :)
