### 5/5 — 子音の発音

*2014-10-21, version 4.6*

たんごの練習で、子音のアルファベットを書いたときに、
子音だけではなく、母音「ア」が付いて発音されています。
「Word Wizard」を参考にして、
子音だけを発音するようにしていただけると、大変役に立ちます。

b：「バ」ではなく、「ブッ（b）」と発音してほしい。
d：「ダ」ではなく、「ドゥ（d）」と発音してほしい。
g：「ガ」ではなく、「グッ（g）」と発音してほしい。
k：「カ」ではなく、「クッ（k）」と発音してほしい。
l：「ラ」ではなく、「ルッ（l）」と発音してほしい。
p：「パ」ではなく、「プッ（p）」と発音してほしい。
v：「ヴア」ではなく、「ヴッ（v）」と発音してほしい。
w：「ワ」ではなく、「ウッ（w）」と発音してほしい。

### 3/5 — 落ちます…

*2014-07-05, version 4.0*

すうじおけいこ共に、先日のアップデートで使えなくなってしまいました。子供が楽しみにしているので、なるべく早くの対応をお待ちしています。

### 4/5 — いいアプリなんですが

*2012-10-17, version 3.0*

アルファベットを読めもしない娘（3歳）に見せたら、ひらがなおけいこと同じと理解してとりあえずなぞって遊びはじめ、いつの間にか読む方もできるようになってきています。
いいアプリと思うのですが、それだけに内容のミスが惜しく感じます。書き順は一般的でないのではと感じるものが幾つかあります。(例)ｅは1画で書いてもマルにしてほしいです。あと、スリッパの綴りが違ったりしているのは直して欲しいですね。今後も期待です！

### 5/5 — 組み合わせるとさらに！

*2012-08-22, version 2.0*

プレイミーABCを見てからだと、絵がリンクしてるので、これ知ってると言って楽しそうにやっています。
それと、書く線が太いのでとてもしっくりきます。
小文字が増えて、さらに◎

### 5/5 — なぞる線が太くてイイナ

*2012-08-08, version 1.0*

しっかりした教材。
こどもが一人で学習するのに適していると思います。
お花マークが6つつくと、アルファベットが小さくなり、
ペンギンが動くので、達成感もでると思います。

### 5/5 — 驚きです😳

*2012-08-07, version 1.0*

三歳の子供が楽しそうに指でなぞっていました。
驚いたのが、紙にお絵描きしているときに、急にアルファベットを書き出しました。ABCがとても上手に書けました✨
楽しみながら、アルファベットや発音が覚えられて、良い買い物したなーと思いました😃
