Help my little one learn how to segment word

Annoyed

Simply can’t get the login from their website so for now I can’t use the app. I’ve reloaded the app twice but both times when I get to their site it gets stuck loading.

Not ideal for teaching

Voiced consonants /g, b/ are unvoiced when segmented from the word. Confusing for kids' auditory discrimination. Also, would be nice to be able to pause between trials to discuss errors with the child, but it just keeps pushing you along.

Needs some fixes

I had high hopes for this app but found some issues that need to be addressed before I can give it a higher rating. As a Reading Specialist I will not continue to use it until those are made, for instance when segmenting sounds beginning blends should not go together in one sound box, they are 2 separate sounds and each need their own box. Also, the sound for /b/ sounds like /p/ and should be adjusted. I hope you make these changes.

first grade teacher

This does review some basic skills, but the narration and graphics are SOOO boring. This does not keep the attention of 21st century kids.
