Leave a Review First Words Deluxe
Solid app for early learning
I like that the app has a very clean and straightforward user interface. You could progress into the first words activity without confusing menu buttons. The Home button, options, and settings were all organized, and seemed to be differentiated in the right places for parents versus kids.keepsmesmiling
Approved for KinderTown
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.Show lessKathleen1000
Great for my daughter
I bought this app after using a few of the other learning touch apps with my 3 year old daughter. She really enjoys them. The apps are easy for her to use and I love to hear her repeat letter sounds and words she hears in the app (which is something I can't always get her to do for me). I purchased this app to give her access to more words and there are lots of them included. I like that I can select letters or phonics sounds and also choose a category of words or all words. This app is a great way to encourage her to learn and say new words. It is also a nice way to introduce letters and phonics. Money well spent!Show lessEmma Bean's Mom
Superb
My son is 5 and has autism.... he LOVES this app. I heard of it from his kindergarten teacher, who uses it on iPad at school. There are 5 autistic children in the class and it has been popular with all of them. When I got it for home iPad use, I thought he may get tired of it, but he uses it daily and still learns from it. Can now spell so many words! Thank you and please keep adding more words to it with higher difficulty! Let it grow with them! Worth every penny.Show lessLilMansMom
Like this app a lot!
My two year old has been loving this app. It keeps her occupied for awhile. She is exposed to new words and is able identify the alphabet that spell the words. I don't feel guilty having her play with this. Good stuff!Mary's mommy
Just awesome...one my sons favorites
I have a 2 yr old autistic son and this is one of his reinforcers in therapy and now from 5months not talking he is attempting to repeat the words. Colors are bright, animation is fun and not too distracting, I looooovvveeee how with this program if he gets one wrong it doesn't say try again it allows him to correct himselfShow lessJuanBrambila
Great app
Go ahead and buy with confidence. My two year old loves it. It's a great vocabulary builder. It teaches letter and word recognition. The letter drag function is super smooth. Also the way it helps the child drag the right letter to the correct tile is genius. Fantastic.Honeybmama
Love
We have owned this app a year now. It was one of the first apps we purchased when we got my son an iPad. He has autism and a genetic syndrome. We didn't think he knew very much but found out he was very intelligent. He can read and spell and say words!ShannonTx
3 yr old autistic son can do it!
I love this app!!! My son is 3 and almost completely non verbal and he loves this app! I wasn't sure when I purchased it because I wasn't sure if he could figure it out but he did! He's even starting to repeat some of the words when he gets them right! I would highly recommend this app, especially to parents of young autistic children!Show lessTalons mommy
My 15 month old loves this app
Sometimes as a parent you try everything to soothe your child and nothing seems to work. I think many of our littles ones could be considered iPhone babies or smartphone babies and mine certainly is. I give my 15 month old son my phone to play with and he loves this app. He loves to hear the words and the sounds of the words. He's still young to spell it out himself so I help him but he's absolutely mesmerized by the colors and sounds. If you need to occupy your toddler and have him/her learn at the same time, then this is a great app and worth a one time $5.Show lessJulesknows
