Has potential – Build A Word Easy Spelling Long&Short Vowels,Sight Review

This app approaches spelling from memorization rather than sound and rule based. The program only offers the option of sound on, where the letter is named, or sound off. Children should be able to hear the sound the letter makes not the letter name. This is how they begin to learn spelling before they start learning the rules. Spelling is a thinking process. It would also be nice to see the option of choosing the vowel sound you'd like to focus on. This would help children who are really struggling to acquire their reading, writing and spelling skills. Another suggestion is to color code the vowels.
