Silapp is the perfect application for people in the Latin alphabet literacy process to practice autonomously and speed up the process of acquiring reading and writing in Spanish.
It is organized into 3 large sections, Alphabet, Syllables and Vocabulary, which, in turn, are divided into 3 blocks: presentation of content, listening comprehension activities and written expression activities.
Silapp has a simple design with intuitive icons that promote the autonomy of the learner.
Section analysis:
1. ALPHABET:
1.1. Presentation of each spelling, in upper and lower case, accompanied by an audio with the name of the letter, an audio with the phoneme of the letter and a video where you can observe the articulation of the phoneme in the mouth.
1.2. Audio activities in which 3 letter options are presented and the speaker icon which will have to be pressed to listen to the lyrics and choose the correct letter among the options presented.
1.3. Writing activities that consist of playing an audio by pressing the speaker icon and having to write the corresponding letter.
2. SYLLABLES:
The types of syllables are divided into sections according to their number of letters: 2, 3, 4 or 5. In turn, each of these sections contains new subclassifications depending on the type of letter that composes them (consonant+vowel, vowel+vowel, vowel+consonant, etc.) and within each of these sections there is:
2.1. Presentation of all possible syllables with these characteristics accompanied by their audio.
2.2. Audio activities in which 3 syllable options are presented and the speaker icon which will have to be pressed to hear a syllable and choose the correct one among the options presented.
23. Writing activities structured in two levels of difficulty, which appear consecutively, which consist of playing the audio by pressing the speaker icon and, in the first phase of difficulty, having to choose the letters necessary to write the syllables among several letter options presented; In the second difficulty phase, limited letter options are no longer presented, but rather the full keyboard appears. On the third incorrect writing attempt, a help box appears for a brief moment to avoid blocking the learner.
3. VOCABULARY:
23 thematic blocks are presented with basic vocabulary and in each of them:
3.1. Presentation of each concept through an icon, its writing in upper and lower case and the word separated by syllables which is underlined at the same time that the audio is played by pressing the speaker icon.
3.2. Audio activities in which the word icon is presented, the speaker icon which must be pressed to pay attention to the pronunciation of the word and 3 writing options from which the correct one must be chosen.
3.3. Writing activities structured in two levels of difficulty, which appear consecutively, which consist of playing the audio by pressing the speaker icon and, in the first difficulty phase, having to choose the letters necessary to write the word among several letter options presented; In the second difficulty phase, limited letter options are no longer presented, but rather the full keyboard appears. On the third incorrect writing attempt, a help box appears for a brief moment to avoid blocking the learner.
