## What is AGO Phonics Sound Pad Premium?

AGO Phonics Sound Pad is a fun sound board tool for exploring and learning phonic sounds. It is particularly suited for Kindergarten - grade one and two elementary school students, and EFL / ESL students in their first years of English study. Users can hear clearly voiced phonic sounds and related English vocabulary at the touch of a button via a colorful and intuitive layout! You can switch between male and female voice. 

Within the app, there are seven pages of sound boards. Each has 36 different target phonemes displayed as buttons on the screen.
Touch a button to hear its sound. Three illustrated high frequency word examples of the target phoneme appear at the bottom of the screen. Touch these to listen to them, too. In total, there are over 700 vocabulary items to practice and learn.

The content and layout matches the best selling AGO Phonics card games series, and makes it quick and easy for those from non-English speaking backgrounds that are playing these games to reference and hear unknown words. Parents with a lack of confidence in their own English pronunciation will benefit from using this app when playing the games. 

The AGO Phonics sound pad goes far beyond the ABC's - over the four levels, it covers over 200 of the most common spelling and pronunciation patterns used in the English language - including consonant blends, digraphs, r controlled vowels, diphthongs, long vowel sounds, silent letters and more!

### 4/5 — おしい！Bugがなくなれば最高のアプリ

*2019-02-26*

1.”r”の音が”r”ではなく”ra”、”w”の音が”w”ではなく”wa”となってしまっている
2.“ee”をタップしても反応しない
この2点が改善されれば最高のアプリです。

*2016-05-25*

Fun and easy to use with clear pronunciation and attractive pictures!

### 2/5 — バグが気になる

*2016-05-08*

フォニックスの緑では、画面下のイラストが切り替わらない。
仕方なく全種類表示するページでしているが、小さいので子どもの手ではしづらい。改善してください。

### 2/5 — Bug

*2016-04-17*

'fr' button is not working.

### 4/5 — フォニックスの一覧表、いいです！

*2015-10-25*

シンプルでとてもわかり易いです。綴りと発音の規則の一覧表(音声付き)については、こういうのが欲しかった！と私も思いました。この画面を傍らに置いてカードゲームをしたら、フォニックスが楽しく身につけられそう。カードも欲しくなりました。

ただ、alとairのボタンで出てくる言葉が逆ですよ。frのボタンも、正しい言葉が出てきません。
W のwebの発音が違うと思います。

### 5/5 — とても良い‼︎

    知り合いの子供たちにも早速、「これいいよ。」と伝えました。240円も惜しくない。

### 5/5 — AGO Phonics Sound Pad

*2015-03-14, version 1.1.1*

Well constructed app that will appeal to all those who wish to learn English and be able to pronounce the words phonetically. This new version is another step ahead

### 5/5 — Love it

*2015-01-29, version 1.03*

Its lovely app for kids. I also have AGO Phonics cards (a game for young English Students). The app matches that content, so players can look up words they don't know or cant read if they play the game at home. Many sounds covered. good vocab options and clear audio. Can be used independent of the cards, as well.
