Freezes all the time
Great app, when it's working. This version freezes all the time and has to be deleted and reloaded to work again, which is then only a 50/50 chance. I sent a request to tech support 2 weeks ago, which has been ignored. Until an update fixing this bug comes out, I wouldn't waste the money on this app. So frustrating

Amazing App
Wow!! As a mum of a 9yo boy who experiences learning difficulties with his working memory & processing skills and has recently been diagnosed with APD this app is nothing short of Amazing!!!
He uses the Letter Sounds 2 & Word Builder everyday for his homework spelling words, revising common & less common graphemes and recently he was shown how he could use it whilst reading to me and if he comes across a difficult word he can enter it into the word builder and sounds it out. I can not tell you how much joy and confidence this brings him as he is able to read more fluently.
In his words "it's amazing! and I really like how I get to beat my highest score also it's really helped me get better at my spelling tests I got 24/25 & 22/25".
Thank you so much you have made our homework time more enjoyable :)

So useful!
Incredibly powerful tool for teaching students digraphs etc. This app has to be seen to be believed! I have three apps from this developer and all are super useful in my teaching. Thanks!
Simply Amazing!
I've been teaching grades (K-2) for 10 years and I must say this program is amazing! My students are so eager to use this app daily! Works wonders for my special needs students! This app is worth every penny!;)
I've waited years for a tool like this
Yay! Now we've got a brilliant tool that moves beyond the single letter sounds, has Australian pronunciation, and is based on solid research.
It's always surprised me the total void of quality tools available for developing such a fundamental skill - the sound of digraphs and word endings - ch, sh, ou, tion....
No school should be without it. It's instructional, differentiates for learners, and it's fun!
I demonstrated this app (as part of some regional iPad training) for a group of SSOs just this week; they were blown away with the range of sounds and presets, scope for customisation, strength in differentiation provided by withdrawing and replacing mnemonic support according to the child's responses, and it's game based nature. Before leaving the training they had already secured agreement from their site leader for the purchase of all apps from this developer.
I'm using this app with children who are struggling readers aged 7-12 years. I work with individual students and with groups with one-to-one iPads. I'm yet to find a student who doesn't love it, find it engaging, work hard towards being successful and achieve success.
Btw, with a small amount of guidance they quickly (even the 7-yos) develop independence in navigating and setting up activities customised to their areas of need. (jotting errors on a scrap of paper helps with future customisation)

Top app for parents to support kids at home
This app is just fantastic. It is in game form but is really a therapeutic tool given it was created by an expert Speech Pathologist who treats reading difficulties. It clearly shows the parent and child which sounds are not being heard and goes on to give practice to develop the weakness. Level of difficulty can be adjusted and it is customisable. Great at home or in school.
