A lot of Fun and Beautiful Pictures!!! This app is designed by Ms Jessica, Certified English Teacher, for children with previous English learning experience, who want a short exam preparation before taking YLE exam. Our aim to provide practice in words which are essential to be familiar with the exam. This Starters Wordlist app has more than 430 beautiful pictures and questions. Young Learners English Tests (also known as YLE) is one of the ESOL Examinations tests targeted at young children. The examination has three different levels: Starters, Movers and Flyers Exams. At each level, the examination is divided into three different sections. The first is Reading and Writing, the second is Listening and the third is Speaking. For each section, candidates can score a maximum of five “shields”. The division of levels is according to ability, rather than age. Therefore, it is possible for a six-year old child to acquire the full marks (all fifteen “shields”) in the Flyers Exam. Please feel free to let us know your feedback, questions or concerns at inventlinks@gmail.com Enjoy and have fun!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Starters at none against 1st grade reading's shown. Starters also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). 1st grade reading's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
