This kid’s app prompts the reader to touch the correct word on a screen of
similar sounding words. The large type allows young readers to move their
fingers along the words while they sound it out, while the alliterative and
rhyming verse promote phonemic awareness. This app is optimized for tablet
devices.
This app has 16 target words, 13 more than the lite version.
I developed this app due to a frustration that beginning reader books have
small fonts and pictures that take away focus from the text. Flash cards are
an alternative, but they have no content and meaning and are boring.
FEATURES:
- Uses a very simple print based font, meaning the letters look like the letters they are taught to write.
- The font is made as large as possible so that the child’s finger can point at each letter as they sound it out.
- The verses are alliterative and/or rhyming to promote phonemic awareness.
- The child is asked to find the target word on a screen of words that sound and are spelled similarly. The puzzles encourage the child to look for patterns in the words to find the correct answer.
- The book is filled mostly with phonetically spelled words.
- There are sixteen target words for a total of 64 pages.
- The target words are Cat, Dog, Cow, Baby, Duck, Dino, Pig, Truck, Bug, Rose, Slug, Vase, Boat, Nail, Tree and Moon.
- There is a read-to-me button that can be removed through an options menu.
FOR TEACHERS:
Learn To Read helps achieve the following Common Core Standards
RF.K.2. Demonstrate understanding of spoken words, syllables, and sounds
(phonemes).
- Recognize and produce rhyming words.
- Add or substitute individual sounds (phonemes) in simple, one-syllable words to make new words.
RF.K.3. Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in
decoding words.
- Distinguish between similarly spelled words by identifying the sounds of the letters that differ
