*************************************************
Word Cub makes phonics fun and builds skills to last a lifetime. Busy parents will appreciate how it transforms life's idle moments on checkout lines and car rides home into learning experiences. Designed by parents of a gadget-loving four year old. Tested by a team of preschoolers.
Word Cub lays the groundwork for early reading. Using a digital version of the alphabet blocks we all grew up with your child twists and twirls letters and words in a colorful 3D space.
THREE GAMES-IN-ONE!
LETTER MATCH. The perfect place to start on the road to reading. How many letters can your child match? Act quick, before time runs out. Children receive gentle re-enforcement so they learn their letters faster. They'll delight in popping bubbles and hearts at the end of every game. The more they match, they more they get to pop. Contains over 200 words.
WORD DISCOVERY. Your child explores how words are formed through touching, tapping and swiping the alphabet blocks. A word appears, its letters immediately sound aloud. Sound any letter again with just a tap. Does your child know the word? They can check their answer by swiping their finger across the screen. Want a new word? Just swipe down. Includes dozens of spoken words.
SOUND MATCH. They've seen and heard how words are formed. Now your child is challenged to tap the letter sounds they've learned. How many sounds can they identify before time runs out? The cheering crowd grows larger with every correct match. With over 200 words.
Designed by Dad the developer and Mom the educator then improved by a team of preschoolers through multiple rounds of testing.
Soothing colors and sounds keep your child's focus on letters and the sounds they make. Fun rewards and a tactile experience keep them playing and learning longer.
APP PREFERENCES
You can set app preferences via the 'i' icon on the main menu screen.
In preference, choose how letters display: in lower or upper case. You might choose uppercase for a child focused on letter-matching. We recommend choosing lowercase for Word and Sound matching, since lowercase letters prepare them for what they'll find in the their level 1 readers.
Also in preferences select from several phonetic concepts. For beginners, choose 'a,e,i,o & u'. Children see basic three letter words with short vowel sounds. When they show mastery in this area, switch to consonant blends. Now children will see and hear how more complex words are formed. Concepts makes this app a lasting value.
Help provided for all three activities in pictures, voice and words.
