Apps are great however letters in it are so small. Its fine if its small but I hope you can make updates like when you tap on every letter it will zoom in to the entire screen so your eyes will only focus on that letter and see it clearly. Then when you tap again it will back to its normal size. Sounds are pronounced clearly. Good job.

As an Orton-Gillingham reading tutor this is great. Simple, accurate, clear sounds. Now we need to go back a step and include a similar app that just says the alphabet sounds. Many children do not have a command of the alphabet itself . They should master alphabet before they do any sounds. Exactly the way this app is laid out but with names of letters. lower case. Just q I love that you isolate the topic which is a hallmark of Orton- Gillingham, the origin of the phonics program.

Thanks for your comments, Carol! I'll be sure to pass your suggestion on to our team. Our Pre-reading program does just that--students learn letter names first and then work on letter sounds: https://www.allaboutlearningpress.com/all-about-reading-pre-reading/

It's a good app. However, I would suggest going back and adding a second page that addresses that vowels make two different sounds. So make a page for long and short vowel sounds. Also, take out "qu" and just put "q". Teachers and parents can explain those sounds. Finally, consider adding a third page for combination sounds "th" "gr" "dr", etc.

Thanks for your feedback! This app is for preschoolers and supports our Pre-reading program. In English words, q is always followed by a u. For the multiple sounds of phonograms such as th, please see our Phonogram Sounds App. (gr and dr are "blends"--each consonant retains it's sound.)
