ABC Magic Phonics
This is a great app. For once we see a product get the educational concept of the alphabet and letter recognition RIGHT! Most presentations of the alphabet use capital letters and teach children the name of the letters. WRONG! Reading involves almost all lower case letters and in the process of learning to read and reading itself we never say the name of the letter. It is the sound that is important. This app presents the alphabet in the exact way that early learners need in order to learn it. It leads naturally to the next step of putting the sounds together to form words and eventually to reading.
The use of childrens voices for the sounds of the letters and to pronounce the words provides meaningful models for young children who work with this app. Hearing other children pronouncing the words and making the sound will be a great encouragement for them to do it themselves.
All this and it is free. This is a great app that is sure to engage children and encourage them to want to read. Dont be fooled by its simplicity. It is exactly what a young learners need - one concept presented well without any distractions from the intended objective.
