Great Start – Toddler Alphabet Game Review

My son who is almost 2 enjoys this app. The audio is clear and font size and contrast is good. There is no distracting music in the background which is also nice. I would give it 5 stars if developers tweaked just a few features. When a new letter is requested the child should have to hear the name of that letter prior to being able to pick from the choices. This would ensure that they know what they are trying to find, rather than interrupting the audio and poking at the screen until they happen to get it correct. As a teacher I would like a data feature added. I would like to be able to check how many letters were selected prior to the correct answer. A total percent correct would also be nice. When mastery is near 90% it would be nice if lower case letters were also available and different font styles as well. This would insure that the child can recognize that letter when slightly different styles are used. When the reward sticker is selected and then placed on the page the sound it plays should last longer as it is currently presented the play time is very short. Maybe they child could touch the reward screen a predetermined number of times to hear sticker sounds repeated. For example after hearing three sticker sounds or when they don't touch the screen at all after three seconds the game returns to letters, I have not purchased the other iTot apps yet. I am hoping to see a few simple improvements first. If they are made I will recommend this app to other teachers who work with young children or those with special needs.
