Stroboscopic Effect vs Monster ABC

Did you ever notice the wheels on the car driving next to you sometimes appear to be spinning backwards? This is referred to as the stroboscopic (or wagon-wheel) effect. It occurs when an object is rotated at certain speeds, making the object to appear to stop or even go backwards. Rotate 4 different objects in either direction (clockwise or counterclockwise). You can increase the speed until you see it appear to stop or reverse. On one of the objects, a wheel with different colored alternating rings, you can make it appear as if the rings of this single option are turning in opposite directions. Universal App - supports native iPad, iPhone and iPhone 4's Retina display. WARNING - Those with Epilepsy or those subject to seizures are usually cautioned to avoid strobe lights or similar effects.

Monster ABC guides your child in a really fun way through the process of literacy acquisition. It helps children get to grips with letters and the initial sound of words in the best way possible. WHAT IS AN INITIAL SOUND? Today, little ones use initial sounds to navigate the first stages of literacy acquisition. An initial sound is the first sound of a word and is represented by a letter or a letter combination (like “mm” in the word “mouse” and “sh” in the word “sheep”). Children learn how to make out the initial sound of a word and match it to a letter.
