## What is Kiz Phonics Kinder1?

Kindergarten Phonics Videos & Games for Level 1: 
In this app, children will focus on the short vowel sounds (a, e, i, o, u). Special attention will be given to short 'a' & 'e'. They will learn to blend and read words from the word families at, an, am, ap, ack,  en, et & est. The app introduces key beginning consonant sounds which are also important in learning to read words and sentences. This is the first step in learning to blend and read words and sentences. There are decodable video stories which are meant to help learners see the use of these word families in sentences while inexplicitly introducing a few high frequency sight words. The videos and games are part of our Kindergarten Level 1 phonics program on http://www.kizphonics.com/phonics-program/kindergarten-level-1/
This app works great with our KIZ PHONICS BOOK 2 for Kindergarten Level1. It is a great complementary product.

VIDEOS: First, children will watch and learn words with the beginning and middle short vowel sounds a, e, i, o, u in 5 videos. Then they will focus on word families ack, am, an, at, ap, et, en, est in another 6 videos. These word families videos will show them how words are blended and read. Then there are 16 other videos which focus on beginning consonants b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, r, t, v, w. 
There are 3 short stories aimed at extending practice of short 'a' & 'e' with related word families.

GAMES: Every video is accompanied by a drag and drop activity or two to help practice what was taught in the videos. These games will ensure that learners have enough practice to learn and master the core concepts of this level. At the end, your child will be blending consonants and vowel word families to read simple words like cat, cap, back, sat, map, vet, pet, wet, ten etc. 
The app furthers the development of early reading skills based on the proven methods of phonics. 
Reading specialists were behind the development of the app, making sure pronunciation of letter sounds were accurate. You will hear the letter sounds as they are supposed to be in a natural native English accent.  A good beginning is essential at this stage.

### 1/5 — This app is junk.

*2019-07-25, version 2.0*

This app doesn’t even work correctly. There’s no sound. I have requested a refund, so hopefully the company at least takes care of that. Not only this, but the way the app is set up is terrible. It’s slow and super cheaply made. Definitely look elsewhere for quality phonics apps!!

### 1/5 — Kinder1 phonics

*2018-06-20, version 2.0*

Where is the volume on this app?  I just bought it and can”t hear any voice or sound- request refund!

### 5/5 — Received Help

*2018-03-27, version 2.0*

I tried over and over to get the sound to work. After contacting them 3X, they responded with a fix. My grandkids are now enjoying this app.
