## What is Phonics Connections?

Get your kids on the right track for reading with Phonics Connections. The app contains motivating word games where the goal is to match vowel sounds to blanks in a word that describes a picture.  This app is for beginning readers.  Each of the activities feature color pictures illustrating words with short vowels, long vowels, special sounds like ar, or, er, ir and ur.  In addition some of the words in the activities use the ou, ow, au, aw, and oo vowel sounds.

The app is designed to help students learn to read with ease and confidence.  A connection from the vowel sound to the picture and word can be made using a finger, pointer, or Apple Pencil. Once the correct connection is made the word is pronounced and spelled using synthetic speech.

At $1.99 the app is a great value and will provide a variety of learning experiences for young readers.
