Human Skeleton vs READING MAGIC for Schools

This educational App has been specifically designed to support children who need to learn the key bones in the human skeleton. By popular demand, Version 2 now includes an introduction to the bones in the Skull, Spine, Foot and Hand. To ensure the learning process is comprehensive, 3 fun modes have been included: Learn the names of the primary bones - This uses a list of the key bones; tap on the name of any bone and a blue dot will indicate the bone’s location - Tap on the ‘INFO’ button and a pop-up will appear to give you more information about that bone -There is no hurry. Keep on tapping bone names until you think you know them all and you’ll be ready to test your knowledge Name that bone allows you to test your knowledge at your own pace: - A red-dot will appear on a bone. You then tap the name of the bone from the list on the right -The App will keep the score of how many you get correct or wrong The good news is that each time you get one correct its name disappears from the list; so it gets easier! -Try this a few times and you’ll soon be ready for the final timed test - If you are getting some wrong go back and learn the names of the bones again Once you know the names of the bones then have some fun and play ‘time challenge’ and see if you can name all the bones before the time runs out. - A pop-up will appear with the name of a bone - Tap OK and then tap on the black dot which points to the bone If you forget the name of the bone, which you have been asked to find, just look at the time-line at the bottom of the screen; it is written there too. - Once again it keeps the score; see if you can get them all right before the time runs out: it’s quite challenging. And if you do then you definitely know the names of the major bones in the body. - When you finish a pop-up will tell you how many you got correct and if you finished before the time ran out you’ll be able to boast to your friends how many seconds you had left. www.unit11apps.com | facebook.com/unit11apps

Unlock the Magic of Reading with READING MAGIC 1! Transform your child into a confident reader with READING MAGIC 1! This app makes learning to read an exciting adventure with interactive activities focused on short-vowel words, specifically CVC (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant) words. Meticulously designed to provide an advanced boost to your child’s phonemic awareness, this app combines three foundational pillars of literacy science into one powerful, interactive ecosystem: Blending (Listening), Segmenting (Speaking), and Decoding (Reading). Grounded firmly in Science of Reading principles and utilizing University of Florida Literacy Institute (UFLI) guidelines, READING MAGIC provides specific, precise training with extensive repetitions to help young brains bridge the gap between spoken sound units and complete words. IDEAL FOR BOTH BEGINNING PRE-READERS AND STRUGGLING READERS For Beginning Pre-Readers: A stress-free launchpad. By practicing words through pure sound sequences first, your child masters the internal mechanics of reading without cognitive overload. This keeps them from being frustrated by trying to learn separate, difficult skills at the same time. For Struggling or Remedial Readers: If your child's reading is hesitant or choppy, or if they guess at words, this app provides the targeted intervention recommended by modern reading science to help young brains bridge the gap. THREE CRITICAL SKILL-BUILDING PILLARS While many phonics programs completely overlook the auditory mechanics of reading, our program systematically guides your child through the complete progression of decoding: Skill 1: Blending (Listening): Interactive listening activities train your child’s neural processing ability to hear isolated sounds in words and join them together mentally. This builds the vital auditory runway required for future fluency. Skill 2: Segmenting (Speaking): True spelling and reading independence require the ability to pull spoken words apart into their individual sound units. These exercises build explicit awareness of the acoustic structure of language. Skill 3: Decoding (Reading): The ultimate bridge to literacy. Your child applies their mastery of blending and segmenting directly to text, smoothly moving from spoken sounds to visual words. STRUCTURAL SPACING & INSTRUCTION (Science-Backed Layout) Our app builds the actual findings of reading science directly into the user interface for maximum visual clarity: Anti-Crowding Design: Peer-reviewed research, including Marinus et al. (2016) and Wery & Diliberto (2017), demonstrates that generous letter spacing is critical for early decoding. By placing each letter on its own isolated card with distinct physical gaps, our layout eliminates visual crowding, allowing your child to isolate each sound unit cleanly. True Comprehension: The app strictly discourages picture guessing, forcing children to rely purely on their decoding skills to foster true comprehension and build lasting confidence. INDEPENDENT LEARNING & AESTHETIC SIMPLICITY Distraction-Free: Our minimalist design eliminates overstimulating audio-visual clutter, excessive sound effects, and animations to keep your child entirely focused on the mechanics of reading. Stress-Free Growth: Built-in natural feedback loops offer gentle corrections, nurturing self-discovery and independent learning at your child's own pace. EXPERT RESEARCH BACKING "Before a child can read fluently with their eyes, they must be able to blend fluently with their ears. Weakness in auditory blending is one of the strongest early predictors of later reading failure." — Dr. Joseph Torgesen, Florida State University. "Teaching students to blend and segment benefited their reading much more than did a multiple-skills approach... and teaching phonemic awareness with letters created effect sizes almost twice as large as teaching children without letters." — The National Reading Panel (NRP) Meta-Analysis.
