Good resource for kids struggling with early letters/simple words

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 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.

This is a good tool to help the students improve their vocabulary and words use. Students are not just learning how to spell the words; additionally, they are learning about the meaning of these words in an animated way. Teachers integrate learning and fun, by using this app. New words are always added; so, students can learn new words every time they go on the app. On the other hand, the app didn't have a way to test the students about their improvement in vocabulary or spelling skills. Also, the price of the app was $8.99, which was high comparing to other apps.
