SPELLING MAGIC 4 vs Make Another Number Sentence

Introducing SPELLING MAGIC 4 – a dynamic app that focuses on teaching silent final e words to children. SPELLING MAGIC 4 incorporates the main principles of the Science of Reading. In the "Word Building" section, kids get to use the letters of the word to construct it, while the "Moveable Alphabet" section allows them to explore word construction using the entire alphabet. SPELLING MAGIC 4 offers ample opportunities for practicing building silent e words, including words that may not be part of a young learner's everyday vocabulary. This provides a unique chance to expand their word bank and vocabulary. The app also pronounces the word when the user taps on pictures, aiding in pronunciation and comprehension. SPELLING MAGIC 4 is committed to time-tested phonics principles to help children develop solid reading skills. It provides direct experience with letters and sounds to build phonemic awareness, improve phonological processing ability, and lay strong foundations in reading. The app includes games that focus on essential pre-reading skills such as blending and segmenting, offering meaningful challenges to strengthen phonemic awareness. Developed by a team of educators using accelerated learning techniques and Montessori principles, SPELLING MAGIC 4 has been thoroughly tested and approved by preschool children and their teachers in various settings. Your feedback and suggestions are highly valued as we continue to refine and enhance the app for an optimal learning experience. SPELLING MAGIC 4 is perfect for young children learning intermediate reading skills and those who are learning the foundations of English as their second language. Join us on this exciting learning journey and give your child the gift of strong reading skills that will set them up for success in school and in life.

This app was designed at the request of elementary teacher candidates to facilitate the interaction between their students and the candidates while students illustrated two different number sentences with the same target sum using combinations of 2 or 3 addends. Determine a target sum and then drag chips in various combinations into the work area to represent that number. The blue work area is divided so that one representation is on the top half and the other is on the bottom. The columns are used to place chips for each addend. The "Color" button will display a new set of chips all with the SAME COLOR, but with DIFFERENT SHAPES. The "Shape" button will display a new set of chips all with the SAME SHAPE, but with DIFFERENT COLORS.
