SPELLING MAGIC 2 for Schools vs Tiny Human Counting

Introducing SPELLING MAGIC 2, a key to your child's future reading success. SPELLING MAGIC 2 incorporates the main principles of the Science of Reading. SPELLING MAGIC 2 is tailored to focus on CVCC (consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant) words like "hand," "sent," and "gift," as well as CCVC (consonant-consonant-vowel-consonant) words such as "spin," "flap," and "stop." These types of words are also known as "consonant blend words" and are categorized into themes for enhanced learning. This app is designed to teach children the sounds of letters and how to construct words. It emphasizes the skill of building CCVC/CVCC words with four phonemes using short vowel words, indirectly imparting the essential reading skill of segmenting. With two levels of challenge, it offers a comprehensive learning experience. In the "Word Building" section of the app, only the components (letters) of the word are used for building, while the "Moveable Alphabet" section utilizes the entire alphabet for word construction. Please note that the purpose of this app is to provide ample opportunities for practicing building CCVC & CVCC words, presenting a chance to expand vocabulary. When tapped, the pictures always pronounce the sound of the word that the app prompts the child to build. The free version of SPELLING MAGIC 2 includes 72 words, while the DELUXE version offers 235 words and provides several choices in the options menu, including two types of voices, three font styles, two letter color options, a special feature to connect letters, and over 160 additional words from the free version. Developed by a team of educators using accelerated learning techniques and Montessori principles, this app has been tested and approved by preschoolers, who found it enjoyable and beneficial for learning letter sounds. We eagerly await your feedback and suggestions as we strive to provide a rewarding educational experience for young learners.

Children learn counting and number sense best through lots of practice and hands-on experiences. One-to-one correspondence is one of the first and most important concepts in math. Tiny Human Counting is perfect for children to work on these basic number skills. Each of the three games uses multiple ways to practice 1:1 correspondence. Included are 10 frames, dice, objects, tally marks, numbers and fingers that represent the numbers 1-30. Children count the number of objects on each line and then select the appropriate corresponding pictures that represent a given number. They can also match a picture to pictures or match numbers together. When they get an answer right, there is a fun, reinforcing animation. When all corresponding objects are selected correctly, the students are rewarded by a sheep stampede! Tiny Human Counting keeps track of different students once you add and then select their name. You can also select the appropriate numbers or number range to allow for differentiation. Select the results button to view individual statistics. Happy Counting!
