Quickly working
One look at the map and my daughter, who just turned 5, wants to go to space. That's lesson 5, so you'll have to do lessons 1-4 first I said. After lesson 1, 20 or 30 minutes, she still wasn't bored and wanted to keep going. It approached a set of 5 letters from all angles with plenty of color, sound, animation, and characters. She enjoyed collecting and arranging her reward stickers in the raven's house. Buy this app if your child, like mine, has been struggling with your attempts to get them to read simple words.

Great program that really helps early readers.
Our son loved being read to but didn't want to read himself. Thanks to this app he know is having fun reading and his reading ability have really improved (in less than 2 weeks). I highly recommend this if your son/daughter is learning to read!
Needs more levels but awesome
Just wanted to let you know this is an Awesome app!!! My daughter loves loves loves playing it. I love what & how it teaches.
I am begging you to add more levels though. I have only had it a week & my daughter has finished all 5 levels :(
I actually thought there were more when I bought app.
Please add more to make this perfect.
Thank you

This is truly remarkable....
I find this app inspiring in so many ways, not the least of which is seeing what the new iPad technology is capable of offering to young learners. My only "critique" of the app is that my older son is already too far past this. Please bring out more levels soon!! I can't wait to get my younger son started on the early levels.
Of all the wonderful things in this app, the most ingenious and inspired use of the iPad to me is the ability for a child to record their own voice while reading a word. Primarily, this allows for instant audio feedback even without a tutor sitting beside the student. Moreover, the very act of touching the screen encourages sounding out each letter or group of letters one at a time, and enforces left to right thinking.
I have been recommending this to all my friends. Keep up the good work, and please add more levels!

A must for preschoolers!
As a mom and early childhood education professional I am very impressed. I had literally gone through dozens of learning apps and been disappointed every time. This app doesn't condescend to my child, but takes into account that he is growing up in a technological age. It is quick to learn, easy to navigate and my son doesn't need me to babysit him through it, although it is fun for both of us to work together. After his first few minutes playing with the app, he was putting together sounds and working on sight words. This is a life saver during car rides or grocery trips that I don't feel guilty about. Totally worth it!

By far the best app i downloaded for my 3 year old.
Very nice graphics and sound. Excellent in teaching sounds of the alphabet to kids. The only reason i didn't give 5 start is i was
Hoping for a verity especially for words matching game. Kids learn the word pretty much the after 3 repetition after that it gets
Little boring.

My kids love it!
My 4 yo loves playing this game, the different scenery and collecting the "stickers". My 8yo was playing it the other day even though it is below her skill level! She was having so much fun catching the butterflies and having the lions eat the letters. Definitely recommend!
It works and it's fun
When you buy an app called Reading Raven chances are you actually want your child to build some reading skills and not just have fun playing on your iPad. This app gets the job done and it is also really fun too. The execution is fantastic with solid skill building theory, beautiful art work, level ups, rewards for progress - all the essentials. I really like that the app has longevity and/or is applicable to different ages with the three different levels and settings.

Builds my sons confidence
My son is the type of person who likes to get it right the first time and doesn't want any of mom's coaching. We love Reading Raven. I can see his confidence growing and his word recognition improving. Hearing himself say the word has helped with his pronunciation of letters. Tracing, matching and distinguishing letters are made fun in this ap. I like that the letters are lowercase and that the phonics are being heard.

Awesome App for early or weak readers
I bought this app for my child who is a weak reader. She loved this app! Each level is progressive and builds on the previous exercise. We both loved that you can record your voice so it's your own voice you hear in the playback. Loved that it was your own handwriting when the image was displayed. I personally loved the fact that the app is customizable which means my older child doesn't have to do the preschool stuff, but when my toddlers use the app, they will only work on the preschool items.
Highly recommend!!! Hopefully this developer will create more apps like this for grade 1 and up!!
