Monster Words Game vs ReadingScreen

Monster Words is a brand new all Australian high frequency sight words app developed by Brisbane mums/teachers. This Australian, interactive, inclusive high frequency sight words app that will assist your child or students to learn and recognise essential high frequency sight words. It designed to help build confidence, comprehension and context of words, that make up a large part of everyday reading materials for children (ages 3 - 8). Children will learn their high frequency sight words in a fun and engaging environment where they will create their own monsters throughout the levels. We believe that technology can provide many specific benefits such as; • Keeping children/students engaged for longer • Making children/students more excited to learn • Differentiating learning to suit individual needs • Enabling children/students to learn at their own pace and; • Preparing them for the future. It also provides support for those with diverse abilities and needs, cultural backgrounds, and learning styles. Our app will offer inclusive learning technologies that will contain key supportive features to help students work around or compensate for their difficulties including a Dyslexic font setting and will allow its users to choose a difficulty level that suits their learning needs.  We are in the beginning stages of monitoring student progression through the app informing educators or parents on which level that student is on, what words they got correct or incorrect. Future goals for us are to further develop this and create an online website via through the app for the teacher to log on to monitor their whole class. This data will also be available to the principle who can access all classes and witness their progression and/or struggles. *NOTE: You must be connected to WIFI while using this app *NOTE: We will be continuously upgrading this app, we have some spectacular ideas for a future upgrade of the rewards system and will be upgrading the student progress App features • 15 levels of high frequency sight words which aligns with the Australian Curriculum • Australian school font • Australian – English pronunciations for all words  • Dyslexic font option • Three different difficulty levels • In app help function for activities • Information button for each activity • Includes 6 activities for each word; Say the word, Colour the word, trace the word, spell the word find the word and complete the sentence • Revision for each level (CFU – Check for understanding) • Colourful child friendly design • Developed by experienced teachers and parents • Multiple users • Regular updates • Continual encouragement • Track child/Student progress • Get up and move timer For more information; please email info@monsterwords.com.au Or visit www.monsterwords.com.au Privacy policy and Terms and conditions: https://www.monsterwords.com.au/privacyandterms This is just the beginning for Monster Words, by giving us quality feedback, it will help us develop a truly spectacular app for our students/children Wondering what quality feedback we are looking for? - What improvements would you like to see? - What do you think needs to be added to give your students/children the best learning experience? - What are you not enjoying about the app? - Tell us what you love about the app?

Accurately identify Primary school children who would benefit from reading support, using our fast, fun and intuitive app for teachers and teaching assistants. Based on decades of University of Oxford research into reading development. ReadingScreen assessments consist of two tests measuring different reading skills. The first presents pupils with up to 60 individual words of increasing complexity. The second presents them with up to 34 nonwords. The pupil is asked to read each word or nonword out loud and their responses are marked for accuracy by the adult conducting the assessment. If they get 15 answers in a row incorrect, the test ends and they move onto the next test. Each assessment should take 10 minutes or less to complete. Assessments can be interrupted if necessary and will resume from the beginning of the most recent test. To launch an assessment, the adult conducting the assessment should scan the QR code for the pupil they want to assess. No personally identifiable information is stored on the device. At the end of an assessment, the data is uploaded to oxedandassessment.com for instant feedback and reports can be generated for classes or year groups. If no internet connection is available, the data can be stored on the device and uploaded at a later date. ReadingScreen is suitable for schools and organisations (UK and international) using English or Welsh as the medium of education.
