- Great for practicing short vowel words
- Pictures help kids understand the words
What they complain about
- App crashes and locks up often
- Voice sounds are unclear or wrong
- Interface is dull and hard to use
Great learning resource
This is phenomenal way to have your toddler sit down practice to learn his or her cvc words.
Worst Ap I have ever used (ever!)
1. Once you open the Ap there is no way to close it. No “x” or exit. I have to turn my phone off and on. 2. Paid for deluxe, no sounds, i select male or female voice. It makes so sound. 3. Have not been able to use it all. Total garbage!
Reading
This apps helped my daughter as a supplementary in her reading class. She is now able to read little by little and for me it really a big help to teach her.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nic
App is nicely made..it has different letters you can learn in words....rating would be higher, but letters did not show up in boxes...i thinks its a glitch, however it showed the picture and you could hear the sounds.
It's ok.
It's a good learning tool for kids. The layout is a bit dull, I think it could be more colorful. It's also very easy to use.
3 games for reading fun
This app helps children read short words, but more importantly it gives them practice blending and segmenting words. This is what makes it a superior app, as few apps help with these essential reading skills.
Used to be good
The most recent update took away the only useful stuff for my pre-k classroom that was available. Now it's pointless to have...deleting.
Valuable, but flawed for PreK-2 Instruction
Great app for phonemic awareness and phonics, but the words used are frequently not within a preschooler's listening or speaking vocabularies, which makes some of the items quite challenging and instruction ineffective. Even in this video, we see the reading of the word "hull" and then a picture of grain. How many preschoolers have heard or will use the word "hull" with any frequency? Updating this app with more appropriate words for PreK-2nd grade children would improve it's effectiveness.
Wish for update
Is it possible that after going through the sounds and the picture coming up that the word is then shown on the tiles to show the letters that make the sound...I'm a teacher w young kids and can see how much better this app can be!!
Unclear
I love the concept of this app. I'm glad I finally found an app that helps to sound out words BUT the voice used, although sweet, is unclear. I, myself, have a hard time figuring out what letter she is sounding. For the word "ram", I couldn't for the life of me understand her sounding of the letter "r". This app could be greatly improved by changing the pronunciation of the letters to make them more clear. I would definitely give this app five stars if it weren't for the poor pronunciation...it unfortunately ruins it.
great app for blending segmenting and reading
This app focuses on blending segmenting and reading CVC words. It teaches these advanced concepts in a clear and friendly way for young children.
Sound
Thought this would be an awesome activities for my students who have such trouble blending and segmenting sounds but unfortunately the is NO SOUND! How can u put an app out with no sound????
good
i appreciate this app a lot. it helps my lil sister and its not join to replace traditional learning.
I question the quality.
There are words spelled wrong on the instruction page. This does not inspire much hope for the future of literacy.
Great app; poor interface
This teaches how to read the words with phonics. The user interface needs a facelift. Advancing to the next word is marked by a very tiny button that is almost invisible. Read out word symbol is placed right below that. Tiny toddler fingers can't touch the right button. My son liked it first but lost interest with few failed wrong taps. Tapping on the word to read out the word is more intuitive than touching another button. I hope this gets fixed soon.
Solid Approaches to Learning to Read CVC Words
This app focuses on CVC words. It separates the words by vowel categories. It uses letter sounds and helps children with the letter sound association.On a certain level, this app would be a clearer presentation if it only had the reading part. This app might be confusing to some, but it uses the two best approaches for building strong foundational reading skills-blending and segmenting. Experienced reading teachers know that these skills are very effective for building strong reading skills. This app does a good job of helping children practice those skills. It has been helping my students become better readers. It also helps my students reinforce their letter sound associations. At times it uses unfamiliar words, but it never asks the user to identify such a word without an accompanying picture.
Jemma
Programme keeps crashing please fix my son is waiting to try it out. Thanks
Good
Another good young child learning app from this developer, I recommend getting the paid version only 99 cents and worth it.
Hated it
This is the worst app ever it wouldnt let me get out the app after it started to move slow i will never get this app again
Perfect for children to learn reading the right way!
This update is excellent, especially with the addition of great explainations of what blending and segmenting are and how important these are for building a firm foundation. Preschool U's apps are the only ones I found that actually teach children the proper way to learn to read. I love the updated interface and games. Keep up the good work!!!
Great idea, but . . .
Very disappointing! Either the voices are VERY unclear or it has been programmed incorrectly and the wrong sound plays for some letters. 'RAM" sounds as "BAN". This makes it unusable as the whole point is for the kids to hear the correct sounds! :-( A real shame, because the concept is good.
Excellent for preschoolers
This app offers a great selection of short vowel words in squares where they can blend the sounds and guess the word before looking at the picture to self check. I would like to see the letters pop up after the picture however to reinforce letter cues.
Great game words
Just got this application for my 4 year old daughter. looks great,but thevoice activation is not working at all, and the letters are not poping up in the boxes. Like I said it is good, but only if it would work properly.
good
This free version is very good tool fo help kids learn easily and in a fun way. The interface is a little bit dull but really worth trying!
Carol
It worked right after I downloaded it, but a day later it jams and locks up. If this problem was corrected then it is a great tool.
a good app that teaches kids to pronounce short vowels
a good app that teaches kids to pronounce short vowels. this free version contents enough examples. easy to use and useful.
Jdubya300
Great app to help young kids read. This is a realy nice free version.
Nice preview of the deluxe version
This is a free preview of the deluxe version, bought the deluxe one and it's pretty nice for kids
Great app
A great app for learning kids in a fun way with some awesome pictures and easy texts that give entertainment to them
The app is a lot better
The newest version of the app is a lot better. I have not ran into the problems that have been reported about earlier versions.
Need to be considered for all parent
This app is quite a nice educational app. This is just a trial version. Although it's layout a bit dull, but it help children in their pronunciation skills. Price for upgrade version is quite reasonable too.
It does what it says
I like this app. It's not going to replace traditional learning. Rather, it's a tool to help kids learn in a fun manner. No complaints about it yet. Will update if I find any problems.
Wonderful!
The pictures really help with the learning process, the words are simple yet slightly challenging. The instructions are very clear and easy to get the hang of.
Exactly what I was looking for
Well day 2 and the app is still working. My kids love it, they just started reading 3 letter words. This is great!
