Lots of potential in this app – First Words Book and Kids Puzzles Box Free Review

I llike that there are 3 levels of difficulty for the word book and puzzle box and I feel that the concept is good but I wish there would be a relook at the choice of words and puzzles included in the basic app. The 30 words included cover too wide an age range (1-7) to be really effective in teaching a beginner reader about phonics. Having a mixture of words which follow different phonetic rules can be confusing and I would prefer Level 1 to start with lower case as we read and spell words mainly in lower case. I definitely like to see a more gradual progression of word difficulty. Similarly for the puzzles. Arranging the same types of puzzles in increaing difficulty rather than mixing the 2 types is more ideal. I like the reward system as it provides the perfect oppotunity for a child to learn about quantity, whether he has enough stars to redeem a reward and how much more is needed if he doesn't have enough. It would be great if the child is able to choose from the whole range of rewards available instead of being presented with a different set of rewards each time. It is also more rewarding if the rewards themselves have more play value.
