SoundLiteracy By 3D Literacy, LLC

Sound Literacy is the first iPad app that brings your letter tiles in to the 21st Century. It is NOW being used in 19 countries across the globe and growing quickly! Spread the word and integrate Sound Literacy into your curriculum.Named one of the 12 Best Apps for Special Needs of 2012 by Teachers with AppsA portion of all proceeds benefit the International Dyslexia Association.The tiles of Sound Literacy do not create audible sounds, but do represent the spellings of the English phonemes. If you use an Orton-Gillingham influenced program, this app will make perfect sense! If you are a parent that wants to reinforce the phonics principles that your child is being taught in school this app will help. Created by teachers for teachers, Sound Literacy was intentionally designed with open-ended possibilities and maximum flexibility. The particular methodology, approach, specific language for spelling rules, and the sequence of presenting the knowledge is  left up to the teacher and determined by the needs of the student(s).Unlike individualized computer software instruction, Sound Literacy is intended to facilitate interaction between a teacher and student(s). An instructor is needed to demonstrate concepts and skills as well as guide practice sessions with student(s).  Sound Literacy can be used in conjunction with any curriculum that emphasizes phonemic awareness, phonological processing, systematic phonetic instruction, or word building with 'meaningful word parts'. Sound Literacy features: • Blank tiles for counting, ordering, and manipulating the phonemes within words • Tiles organized in pantries and ready to be pulled onto the workspace for spelling words • A workspace for ‘tapping’ and creating boxes for the tiles to be placed in • Six specially designed ladders for building and comparing phonemes• Unique phonetically ordered consonant and vowel phoneme maps • Popovers on the sound maps that indicate various ways to spell each phoneme; spellings are ordered from the most common to the least common• Included on the popovers, are the origins of some spellings which help to categorize and make sense of a seemingly irregular spelling systemVisit our website www.soundliteracy.com for more information and ongoing discussions on how to improve Sound Literacy. Have fun studying words!Please note that at this time Sound Literacy does not include the phoneme sounds on the Sound Maps. We are working to put this in place.

abc PocketPhonics: letter sounds & writing + first words By Apps in My Pocket Ltd

Independent research found kids learnt nine times as fast using PocketPhonics compared to a lesson in a classroom (see appsinmypocket.com/research).”There’s no denying that “abc PocketPhonics” is an amazing app. A universal app—it works with both iPhone and iPad—PocketPhonics teaches the basics of reading and writing to young kids. Most surprising? It seems to work.” 148apps.com★★ If you ever need help, please contact us from within the app or at appsinmypocket.com as we are unable to respond to reviews.★★Letter sounds. Handwriting. First words. PocketPhonics teaches all three. Kids, parents and teachers love it. That’s why it’s a best-seller.Aimed at kids aged between 3 and 6, and using the best ‘phonics’ teaching techniques, PocketPhonics introduces kids to each of the key letter sounds. As they learn the sounds, the app guides them how to write each letter through its unique follow-me arrow making it easy to learn how to correctly form letters. There’s nothing else like it in the app store.★What experts say★➜ Parents’ Choice Recommended Award Winner➜ Editor's Choice Award 2011 from Children's Technology Review➜“If you are working on phonics for your kids, this is the best application to have.” Technology in Education➜“This app feels much like a private tutoring session for early readers with emphasis on letter sounds and writing.” everythingmom.com➜“PocketPhonics is seriously educational and I think it’s a terrific tool for helping early readers. You can tell that a ton of thought and research was put into it and best of all, they talked and listened to teachers. It shows.” iPhoneMom.com ➜“When it comes to learning apps for young learners and early readers, there is no better choice than abc PocketPhonics." ipad-applications.neiia.comWe've also had coverage in the WSJ, theweek.com and more than 20 other media outlets.★Designed with and tested by teachers★Only PocketPhonics follows the ‘Synthetic phonics’ teaching method - the keystone of the “Reading First” part of the “No Child Left Behind Act”. To understand the best educational practice underpinning PocketPhonics, order the FREE GUIDE to teaching kids to read from the app.Buying PocketPhonics for school? See appsinmypocket.com/school★Letter sounds★Simply put, phonics (letter sounds) help children learn to read by understanding the sounds that letters make. The Congressionally-mandated National Reading Panel concludes that “children who have phonics instruction read better and spell better than other children”.Letter sounds (how we say the letters when we use them in words) are not the same as the letter names (what we call the letters). Montessori & other experts recommend not including letter names when teaching letter sounds as it can confuse children by introducing too much at once. PocketPhonics focuses solely on letter sounds so children can learn to read more quickly. (See our DotToDot numbers & letters for letter names and alphabetical order). PocketPhonics teaches the sounds for all the letters in the alphabet plus over 30 letter sounds like ‘sh’ and ‘ch’, because they are key to reading so many frequently-used words.★Letter writing★PocketPhonics visually demonstrates how to write each letter. Children enjoy practicing their writing by following the on-screen arrow tracing the letter with their finger (Montessori kids learn first to trace letters with their fingers). PocketPhonics works with iPhone-compatible styluses.PocketPhonics will also check the accuracy of your child’s writing.★170 First words★Using a unique, “letter sounds make words” spelling game, children learn how to sound out and spell over 170 frequently used words.★PocketPhonics puts you in control★Using the app, you can:✔ Customise it to the needs of your child through its wide range of settings (e.g. lowercase, uppercase, or cursive letters; two popular handwriting styles like those taught in most US schools)✔ Get help

For those like me who use Evernote to 'remember everything', being able to pull in any note I have stored there and annotate over the top, or even record a narration, then export this enhanced note straight back is brilliant. For students, they can import an existing PowerPoint presentation and just draw and highlight over the top of slides, all the while verbally explaining, and export to a movie that encapsulates their understanding much better than the mere slides would. For educators, it means the option to create video podcasts is now available whenever and wherever we require it. http://langwitches.org/ The different pieces you draw, type or import become objects that can individually be manipulated (resized, deleted and are treated to be a on a layer that can be send to back, front, etc) […] Export features: I am not forced to upload the video file to the company’s site. I have CHOICES! I can export a screenshot of the slide I created to my Photo Roll (this feature is huge for me, since I can now import the movie file directly from here into iMovie on the iPad and make the screencast part of a larger movie), via e-mail, to Dropbox or Evernote.
