Love this App!

So glad it has been updated for newer iPads. My students love using this and seeing their progress as they work through the lessons. The progress tracking is great too especially since it can be emailed and printed.

A fantastic learning tool for teachers and parents

This is a great new app that teaches word patterns, vowel sounds and reading skills. I am currently using it with a student I tutor and have used it in the past. I can customize it for my students and keep up with their progress. I have shown it to parents who also really love it! It's exactly what I need.

Affordable learn to read app

I am homeschooling my kindergarten son and have found this app to be an integral part of my phonics teaching. The lessons in the app are similar to the All about reading/all about spelling curricula that I used with my older child....but this app is so much more affordable and easier to use. I like that the app makes use of moving around letter tiles, mimicking a tactile manipulative. Each lesson is focused on review of a specific vowel sound, asking the child to form words, change words by altering consonant sounds, and finally read small sentences in a story. The narrator in the app is sweet and gentle sounding, and the illustrations simple and non-distracting (like the BOB books). I would recommend this app for any child learning to read!

Special Educator

This is an awesome app! It keeps kids engaged in learning sounds and reading even when many other groups are going on in the classroom. Students with severe learning disabilities are excited about reading when they use this app. It is useful to teach or review specific sounds. By the end of the lessons for each sound, the students feel confident and are able to read the sounds in words and in sentences and in a short story.

Wow!!!!!

As a teacher of younger students, I think this would be a great app to help children learn the different sounds that letters can make in words. This would be great for students starting to read in Kindergarten and also helpful for the struggling readers in lower grades. It could be a listening to reading app in centers, the Daily 5 or just used with the device a family owns while they are at home or out and about with their kids. Wonderful app!!!
