Great learning resource

3 games for reading fun

This app helps children read short words, but more importantly it gives them practice blending and segmenting words. This is what makes it a superior app, as few apps help with these essential reading skills.

great app for blending segmenting and reading

This app focuses on blending segmenting and reading CVC words. It teaches these advanced concepts in a clear and friendly way for young children.

Solid Approaches to Learning to Read CVC Words

This app focuses on CVC words.
It separates the words by vowel categories.
It uses letter sounds and helps children with the letter sound association.On a certain level, this app would be a clearer presentation if it only had the reading part.
This app might be confusing to some, but it uses the two best approaches for building strong foundational reading skills-blending and segmenting. Experienced reading teachers know that these skills are very effective for building strong reading skills.
This app does a good job of helping children practice those skills. It has been helping my students become better readers. It also helps my students reinforce their letter sound associations. At times it uses unfamiliar words, but it never asks the user to identify such a word without an accompanying picture.

Perfect for children to learn reading the right way!

This update is excellent, especially with the addition of great explainations of what blending and segmenting are and how important these are for building a firm foundation. Preschool U's apps are the only ones I found that actually teach children the proper way to learn to read. I love the updated interface and games. Keep up the good work!!!
