Why are Phonic Flashcards better than regular flashcards? Because when you learn with Phonic Flashcards, the phonemes (letters and digraphs) are sounded out! The word "fish" becomes "fff" "i" "shhh", with all words and phonemes recorded by a professional voice artist, helping to build a solid phonics foundation for reading (and spelling) success! All our apps are designed to maximize learning outcomes, while also being super easy to use. Parents do not need a degree in order to use Phonic Flashcards to teach their child how to read. Phonic Flashcards makes a great classroom activity for literacy centers, as well as for one-on-one teaching and assessment, and also whole-class instruction when teaching short vowel sounds. Ages 4-7 plus remedial CVC words are three letter Consonant-Vowel-Consonant words like: cat, dog and bed. Phonic Flashcards lite CVC includes 41 CVC flashcards, mainly common nouns. Each interactive card features a picture, which you can tap to hear a fun sound effect. Choose whether to have the words voiced, sounded-out, or both! Tap the letters and digraphs to hear each phoneme. Blend them together to sound-out the word. Hide the picture to administer a reading test. You can focus on each short vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u) or play the words randomly. As well as FLASHCARDS, there are three additional activities: SHADOWS - a multisensory word-building game which is visual and tactile, while also reinforcing phonemes. MATCH UP! - simply involves matching words with pictures. Turn off the sound cues to test word recognition. WHICH WORD? - a game-show style phonological awareness quiz, to test students on initial sounds and rimes. Upon completing each activity, children are rewarded with a simple tap-tap style arcade game of their choice, Frog Hop or Fish Food. If you like this app, please purchase the full version, so your child can progress on to 4-5 letter words with blends and common digraphs (including: ck, sh, ch, th, ng, oo, ee, oa, ou, ai, ea, oi, oy, ow, aw, ir, ar, or, and ur) with more than 200 flashcards altogether. Please refer to the PDF Guide (found at www.phonicflashcards.com) for full details of all the activities, word lists and "How to teach your child to read using Phonic Flashcards". The Phonic Flashcards app requires no setting up, apart from choosing your voice accent the very first time you use it. There are American, British and Australian speech options. (You may change voice accent at any time in 'Settings' via the cog icon on the front screen.) We care about your child's privacy.
