L’Escapadou is dedicated to solid phonics in their apps, and Montessori Words is another great example of phonics that really hit the mark. Not only are they ‘smart’ in that the letter sounds change according to the word being built, but as a parent you can hone in so carefully on the phonograms that your child is learning – need words including ‘ck’ – no problem! Words with silent e’s (vowel-consonant-e words) – you’re covered. In just a few taps your child is ready to practice the rules she’s just learned! There are also a generous number of words included – 320 in total! I also like the options – different keyboard layouts, lower case/upper case, cursive, and optional hints. They go along with the phonics flexibility to offer a great learning tool with excellent value. The phonics-based movable alphabet is a nice bonus that you can use like talking letter magnets for simple (short letter sounds) reading and spelling lessons – or just for fun!

I would give it 5 stars if they would add the ability to move this huge app to my SD card. It takes up way too much space on my phone! Otherwise it's a great app that is helping my dyslexic daughter to spell.

After my daughter completed 50 words, the letter sounds were gone. Hope this can be fixed as the app is useless without the letter sound. This is phonics Okay, so I was able to fix it by uninstalling and reinstalling the app

Please optimize a little bit better for Android tablets (I have Nexus 10). And please add your math and crossword apps to Android! With a little tweaking this app could be top-notch. It's pretty good as it is, though.

Well thought out, well designed, easy to navigate, logical, fun and challenging. My daughter is learning to read and just learned some blends and correct spelling in just ten minutes, plus she is clearly inspired and wants to do more! Fantastic.

Using Nexus 10 tablet. Great customer care and amazing apps for iOS... See their website! I know those can take advantage of built in tech that android may lack? But oh, I'm hoping - And even caught myself shopping for an iPad! Please give droid users those goodies before our kids outgrow them :-)
