Kids love it!
I have been using the earlier version for many years and recently upgraded my device so have the newer version now. The activities are powerful, especially with the ability to alter the level of support in the settings. The new version has expanded the ways to target literacy skills. I like the visual scorecard, but I wish it was tally’s or something else besides teddy bears. I’ve used this apps with a variety of age levels and never had anyone feel uncomfortable with it(thinking it is too primary). They all request it, they like it so much. I’m concerned my older students will realize it’s designed for primary ages. Hope I’m wrong!

A wonderful app
My 3 year old grandson progressed to this after Reading Magic 1 and Spelling Magic 1. The upgrade from FREE at $2.99 (under £2) is a bargain. This app is both structured and flexible, with a built-in tracking and reward system and games for "sight" words. There are helpful guidance notes on the app itself and the website. The pictures are attractive and stimulating but hidden until the child reads the words. This is better than books where pictures can distract or give too many clues. If you speak U.K. English, don't worry - the US accent is light and the vocal differences are slight - my grandson loved both.

Yes, this is magic to help teach sentence reading.
This app uses over 300 sentences broken down into 24 different lessons. It has four choices of sentence lengths. It starts with 2-word sentences and works up to 6-word sentences. There are about 75 sentences for every type of sentence length category. This app focuses on sentences containing short vowel, 3-letter words. It also uses 40 common sight words. The app has two games. In the first game, children take randomly placed words and arrange them into a sentence. In the second game, children read the sentence and then touch the picture to check their work. There are also a couple of site word games. The interface is nice and child friendly. I definitely like this app and how it has helped the children in my class become better readers. It has helped them read sentences as a whole more fluidly, rather than just being able to read the separate words in the sentences.
