First Letters and Phonics 4+

This app has kids matching letters and listening to letter name and sounds. It also plays the alphabet song to a good beat. I like that you can change the settings to have kids presented with how many letters to match at a time. You can also choose to hear the letter name or the phonics sounds. This app is great for 2 or 3 year olds.

This app is great for those just learning their letters. The alphabet song plays as it shows each letter, encouraging letter recognition during the song. The game involves matching identical letters and then provides a word that starts with that letter. In the settings, you are able to change the game to match just lowercase letters, just uppercase letters, or lowercase letters to uppercase letters. You can also set it so it says the letter name or the letter sound. Perfect for the young children, it keeps it simple, but allows for growth development as they are learning their letters. The only change I would like to see would be for the option to hear both the letter name and letter sound during the game.

Wow! I love how you can customize this app to fit your students needs. I would recomend this to teachers and parents with young children learning their letters (both uppercase and lowercase) and sounds that the letters make!! I also love the option where you have blank tiles and the child has to tap on them to find the matches...This will really help my higher level preschoolers!!!
