My Take

Overall, I like the app - more so than my rating indicates. The app is limited in the grand scheme of things, but is excellent for introducing letter sounds. There is an interactive component and students can drag the letter to continue hearing the letter sound. The completed word rewards students with animation that they seem to enjoy as well.

How I Use It

I used this app with ELL students to reinforce the letter sounds and letter patterns in English words. The students really responded to the letter sounds repeating themselves while the student drags the letter around on the screen. They were entertained, and copied the sounds they were hearing (more than what they would without the game/app). There is not a way for students to pick certain words they are having trouble with, but can select one word per alphabet letter.

Good resource for kids struggling with early letters/simple words

There are lots of early alphabet/language apps, but this one is one of the better ones. Very straightforward and well designed.

Great application

I found this program to be quite valuable for pupils in the Pre-K and Kindergarten levels. Because of its availability and ability to attract children into learning letter sounds and expanding their vocabulary, the product is an excellent teaching tool. The videos are entertaining and interactive. Kids would want to see them time after time, and they would.

This is a very adorable and fun app that helps kids practice all the letter names and sounds of the alphabet. It also helps kids learn new vocabulary words and provides visuals that explain the meaning of each word that is spelled.

This is a great little app that I would use in my classroom to help kids practice all the letter names and sounds of the alphabet. I would not use it during whole group instruction. However, I would use it as a reading center during my literacy block to give kids an opportunity with individual practice and review of the alphabet sounds. The monsters in this app are funny to watch and the visuals keep the kids engaged, however, this app does not go very deep into phonics or provide any support with other reading strategies. For example, it teaches new vocabulary words and their definitions, but it doesn't provide any opportunity for students to practice blending letter sounds. Students cannot create their own words or practice reading basic CVC words. And, it does not review sight words.
