Latest reviews of Phonics Advanced, 1st Grade app for iPhone and iPad
Phonics Awareness is perfect for teaching advanced phonics skills! As a Second Grade Teacher, I LOVE how easily this app helps teach and reinforce specific concepts in a colorful, fun format! Because it’s aligned with the Common Core for Literacy, I feel great about using it in my classroom. Its easy to use and my students want to use this app again and again! The ‘check yourself part is a great pre/post test that enables me to see their progress. It also is a great teaching aid for non – readers, because the text amd directions are all read to them! Love this app!! Toni Zundel, Author, Teacher
Wish it was more interactive. I can lecture to my students.
not enticing for kids. not recommended.
The game worked fine for a while, then said to update a few weeks ago & is just froze. It has shown to update for weeks, yet nothing happens. Have contacted them, but received NO REPLY. AVOID. WHATEVER YOU DO, dont waste $$ on it.
There is no sound, which made me the maddest. Description and graphics of app were very misleading. Good thing it was only a dollar or I would be even more angry. Grrrrrrr....
