«Montessori Letter Sounds» for iPad: to get your child on the road to reading.
(For kids aged 3 to 7 years old)
“By reading I mean the interpretation of an idea by means of graphics or symbols…A child does not read until he receives ideas from the written word”*
Based on the Montessori* method, Montessori* Letter Sounds works in 4 steps:
- Around 3 years old: “I spy” to play sound games.
- Around 4 years old: “Letter sounds” to memorize the letter sounds and how they are written.
- Between 4 and 5: “Mix and match” to bring together the two first steps.
- Around 4 1/2 years old: “Sound it out” to write their first words using a moveable alphabet.
In each step children will find a learning activity and a game activity to help them put their learning into practice. Self-correction is encouraged throughout the app to increase self-confidence. The system keeps track of marbles won by each player. Marbles are used to unlock games and levels and to stimulate learning.
Children also benefit from a “Toolbox” offering:
- A phonetic alphabet
- A notebook
- A sandbox to trace letters freely
- An image box (great for vocabulary)
