It's kind of a lot harder than the others... My niece actually got frustrated quite bad with it. To her it seemed too much harder from the others. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We understand that finding the right level of challenge is essential for children’s learning. It’s important to strike a balance—activities that are too easy can be boring, while those that are too difficult can lead to frustration. Our goal is to help children find that "sweet spot" for effective learning. We want to let you know that this app has undergone significant updates to enhance the user experience. The user interface has been improved for clarity and efficiency, and we’ve added new categories of words, organizing lessons by similarity and difficulty level. Additionally, we’ve separated single-syllable words from multi-syllable words to create a more coherent learning path. More silent “e” rules have also been introduced to support learners. Yes, this app is designed to be more challenging than the previous ones in the series, as it has moved from the fourth to the fifth app. We appreciate your insights, and we’re committed to continuously improving our app to ensure a successful learning experience for all young learners! ### 3/5 — The idea is there *2013-01-03* The idea of the app overall is great. It is a semi interactive app to teach children to learn but I feel like this falls short with some strange pronunciations of letters and I feel the color coding the vowels would help the learning process **Developer response:** This app has had the user interface upgraded to deliver a better user experience. The voice recordings and pronunciations have been upgraded. The vowels and consonants are different colors. In addition, new categories of words were added. ### 4/5 — Useful *2013-01-05* It's very educational and interactive, great for kids. I think the interface is maybe a bit dull, but it works great. Nice sampler ### 4/5 — Nice *2013-01-05* A usefull app with a user friendly interface awesome. ### 4/5 — good *2013-01-05* preschool is great for the kids. my little sister sure enjoys it. great job ### 4/5 — good concept *2013-01-04* kinda hard to navigate but the concept of what children can learn from this is exceptional. **Developer response:** Yes, the earlier version of this app was a bit clunky. This app has had the user interface upgraded for easier navigation. In addition, the words have been separated into categories organized by similarity and difficulty level, which will also help children learn the words easier. ### 4/5 — Jdubya300 *2013-01-04* My niece loves the app. It is easy for her to use. It is nicely done. ### 4/5 — More advanced than the others, A+ *2013-01-04* Great challenge from the short vowel version, awesome for a free app. Like the other series, there are a few issues with the pronunciation of some letters, and again I would like to see letters exposed with pictures. ### 4/5 — ABC Reading *2013-01-04* Great interface.

It is a great tool for teaching and reinforcing the concept of silent final e. ### 5/5 — Reading Games to Help Read Words With Silent final e *2016-02-17* This app focuses on words with silent final e in them. The words are sorted into categories. It divides its games into 3 skill levels. It uses blending and segmenting games which strongly increase reading skills. This app does a good job conceptually of giving children the opportunity to practice those skills. I have seen the children in my class grow in their language ability through using this app. It is simple and uncluttered and highly recommended. The user interface needs to be updated. It would be nice to have more silent e rules included as well. ### 5/5 — Very good *2013-03-19* Brilliant to help you!! X ### 5/5 — Wonderful app *2013-01-04* It helps me with my english.
