The second mode is the reading mode where children can read the words of the phrase or sentence and then check their work by touching the hidden picture.This app uses mainly short 2 and 3 word sentences, which are punctuated correctly and always begin with a capital letter. This app also uses 2 and 3 word sentence fragments that are useful in the process of giving emerging readers practice in reading strings of words together.
