App is not fully functional
The app has no sound. I went to setting and the only option is for the sound preference for the “w” and “y” sound. I’d like a refund.
This app is very useful for phonics tutoring
I use this app with my students for word building and blending. Sometimes we play a board game and they get to build a word of my choice as a prize for a certain coloured square.
You can blend CBC, ccvc, cvcc, and then when they are ready use vowel digraph and consonant digraphs. It is great when the student has really had enough writing for the lesson but you still want to work on that sound or revise old ones with them. They enjoy picking the sounds.
It reinforces that concept that the code is constant and we just put the pieces of code together to make words. You can swap sounds any place in the word and see how the word changes.
I love all the other reading doctor apps (as do the kids when it's time to use them) and use them for a quick game at the end of my tutoring session as revision for the sounds we have covered. I also encourage kids to use them at home.

A favourite!
I use this app with students everyday. We use it for constructing and decoding tricky words and phoneme manipulation activities. Recently, I've also treated the app as a 'spell-checker' - the voice output assists students to self-correct their spelling errors. Great for teaching the 'magic' 'e' rule, too, as it contains long vowel sounds in red and the silent 'e'. Refreshing to finally use an app with an Australian accent. It's become a necessity during a lot of my sessions, highly recommend this one!

Great app for speech and reading
This app is great for teachers and speech pathologists alike. Students are really interested in watching the moving mouth produce the sounds. Helpful speech production and literacy.
Great for struggling readers
Great Tool. Use it with my students regularly. Especially with the kids who are struggling readers. Love the mouth!
