The short i sound is incorrect and sounds like a long e I cannot use this app in my kindergarten classroom It is a big disappointment because otherwise I think it would be engaging and useful in developing phonemic awareness     Prof s Phonics K Kaper

Phonemic awareness the recognition and understanding of phonemes the smallest unit of sound in language is an important indicator of future literacy in children and this app develops phonemic awareness in a colourful and fun way The graphics are beautiful and the game play keeps children very interested my five year old loves searching for new words His letter recognition has improved quickly and I find him naturally sounding out the initial sounds of words during reading time His kindergarten teacher tells us he is doing very well in literacy and I have no doubt this app has helped Professor Ruth Fielding Barnsley has done extensive research on metalinguistics the awareness of language structure and the link between phonemes and graphemes letters and how it results in children s increased ability to decode new words As a Master of Teaching student at the University of Tasmania I have been searching for apps for my own child that are built on established research of how children actually learn and this one is without a doubt the best app available for early literacy Be sure to check out the extension activities in the info section of the app for parental support with your child s reading                     Based on extensive literacy learning research deuce4

This is a delightful little app to help beginning learners practice sounding out the first letter of words It has beautiful pictures to illustrate groups of words that all start with the same letter Only 5 starting letters so far but i am looking forward to further editions to complete the alphabet It would be useful for both kids in English speaking places and English learners from other countries                 Louisa Frangolouisa
