Approved for KinderTown – First Words Deluxe Review

First Words: Deluxe brings together 5 sets of thematic words that support your beginning reader to build simple words, sound by sound. For children already blending sounds, First Words becomes an app for practicing spelling. Parents can set up the appropriate environment for their child by adjusting the variety of settings. Familiar, thematic words paired with colorful pictures for young children and options for parent customization is what make this app a success. We recommend this app, and the other learning touch: First Words apps, because they give kids an opportunity to play with building words. We are glad that they do not attempt to teach words with phonics sounds that do not follow the beginning phonics rules. This would be very confusing for young kids. The apps still give kids a chance to learn letter patterns while they are exposed to print in meaningful ways. It would be wonderful to have more word lists available, but for the price there is a lot of good content in this single app.
