Terrible for emergent readers – Bamba Surprise: Spelling App Review

From an educational standpoint this is a terrible app for learning to spell or sound out words. First, a ball slides past a series of pictures and as it passes a letter is called out. The letter has nothing to do with the picture. Elephant- R. There is no R in elephant. Picture of a carrot- voice says T. Past the elephant again- O. Clearly, not working on beginning sounds. Even worse, when you get to "spell" the words the phonics sounds are incorrect...Apple A ah, P puh, P puh, L luh, E eh. Apple. No, that's not how you sound out Apple. Next word...rose. R ruh, O awe, S suh, E eh...Rose. NO, that's not how you decode Rose...ruh, oh, zuh. Noodles is equally slaughtered. They got hat. Will be deleting the app immediately before it sets my 5 year olds back.
