3 games for reading fun
This app helps children read short words, but more importantly it gives them practice blending and segmenting words. This is what makes it a superior app, as few apps help with these essential reading skills.ReadingWritingArithmetic
great app for blending segmenting and reading
This app focuses on blending segmenting and reading CVC words. It teaches these advanced concepts in a clear and friendly way for young children.Learning4Fun
Solid Approaches to Learning to Read CVC Words
This app focuses on CVC words.
It separates the words by vowel categories.
It uses letter sounds and helps children with the letter sound association.On a certain level, this app would be a clearer presentation if it only had the reading part.
This app might be confusing to some, but it uses the two best approaches for building strong foundational reading skills-blending and segmenting. Experienced reading teachers know that these skills are very effective for building strong reading skills.
This app does a good job of helping children practice those skills. It has been helping my students become better readers. It also helps my students reinforce their letter sound associations. At times it uses unfamiliar words, but it never asks the user to identify such a word without an accompanying picture.Show lessTerrific2s
Perfect for children to learn reading the right way!
This update is excellent, especially with the addition of great explainations of what blending and segmenting are and how important these are for building a firm foundation. Preschool U's apps are the only ones I found that actually teach children the proper way to learn to read. I love the updated interface and games. Keep up the good work!!!Show lessJuthamasAngel
Used to be good
The most recent update took away the only useful stuff for my pre-k classroom that was available. Now it's pointless to have...deleting.dcasey90
Valuable, but flawed for PreK-2 Instruction
Great app for phonemic awareness and phonics, but the words used are frequently not within a preschooler's listening or speaking vocabularies, which makes some of the items quite challenging and instruction ineffective. Even in this video, we see the reading of the word "hull" and then a picture of grain. How many preschoolers have heard or will use the word "hull" with any frequency? Updating this app with more appropriate words for PreK-2nd grade children would improve it's effectiveness.Show lessJenReads
Developer Response
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We truly appreciate your insights as they help us improve our app for young learners. We want to share that since your review, our app has undergone two significant upgrades. These updates include enhancements that aim to better align with the vocabulary levels of preschoolers. While some programs utilize nonsense words to teach reading, we chose to focus on real, albeit less common, words. Our intention is to enrich children's vocabulary by introducing them to new terms in a fun and engaging way. Learning new words can be a valuable experience, helping to expand their language skills. We also want to emphasize that our app's auditory features ensure that children never have to guess the meaning of a word. The app will always provide clear audio guidance for each word, helping children connect the spoken word with its visual representation. In our development process, we used all the common words available in English that could be visually represented and fit the CVC word pattern. To provide a broader learning experience, we included some uncommon words as well. These uncommon words are conveniently placed in a separate tab, allowing parents and educators to choose whether to engage with them or focus solely on more familiar vocabulary. Thank you again for your feedback! We’re committed to continually improving our app to support the learning journey of every child.good

It's ok.
It's a good learning tool for kids. The layout is a bit dull, I think it could be more colorful. It's also very easy to use.Mocoloco76
Good
Another good young child learning app from this developer, I recommend getting the paid version only 99 cents and worth it.Zach Roe
Excellent for preschoolers
This app offers a great selection of short vowel words in squares where they can blend the sounds and guess the word before looking at the picture to self check. I would like to see the letters pop up after the picture however to reinforce letter cues.dlcmc32
