The highly popular children’s app Monster ABC is now available in English!
Monster ABC guides your child in a really fun way through the process of literacy acquisition. It helps children get to grips with letters and the initial sound of words in the best way possible.
What is an initial sound?
Today, little ones use initial sounds to navigate the first stages of literacy acquisition. An initial sound is the first sound of a word and is represented by a letter or a letter combination (like “mm” in the word “mouse” and “sh” in the word “sheep”). Children learn how to make out the initial sound of a word and match it to a letter.
How does Monster ABC support literacy acquisition?
The app helps children to learn letters and the sound they make in a fun way by using pictures. Each picture represents a word whose initial sound must be matched to the corresponding letter. If the initial sound and letter match, your child will enjoy a true sense of achievement. In doing so, the child easily recognizes the correct combination of initial sound and letter. The learning process is supported interactively with visualizations and sounds that are perfect for children.
In addition, a free-of-charge initial-sound table, featuring pictures and their matching initial sounds from Monster ABC, can be downloaded from the wonderkind website: https://s3.amazonaws.com/wk-anlaute/wonderkind_initial_sound_table.pdf
Monster ABC was developed together with grandparents, parents, and kids, taking into account professional pedagogical and linguistic considerations.
Features:
++ Learn letters based on initial sounds
++ Audio-visual interaction makes learning fun
++ Words and letters are spoken when tapped
++ Feedback spoken in a voice perfect for kids
++ English and German version included
++ English spoken with a charming British accent
++ Motivating reward system
++ Lovingly hand-drawn pictures and amusing sounds
++ Get to know the monsters Max, Bob, Sally and the rest of the gang!
++ Increasing level of difficulty
++ Full initial-sound table available to download free of charge

NEWS FLASH : NEWS FLASH : NEWS FLASH
Arriving late August we are releasing our brand new blogging service - www.easyblog.org
It will be everything Easy Blog Jr is and much more! Check it out now and subscribe to make sure you don't miss out on your free starter pack. No more messy blog creation and setting up 25 iPads!
Easy Blog Jr is the easiest blog uploader available. Designed by teachers for early childhood and elementary classes, its simple interface ensures that children as young as 4 are able to easily post photos, video and voice-over-photos to a Wordpress or Edublogs blog. Older users can also publish text based posts. For Google Blogger users, check out our Easy Blogger Jr app.
Key features:
Volume Purchase Pricing available - don't have VPP but want to buy a bulk purchase? Please contact us directly at our support site.
NOTE: WordPress.com and Edublogs.org users are still limited to any file size or video uploading restrictions that apply with these hosts.
Your students will absolutely love the audio help, recognizing at once that it is the voice of a child. We have seen kindergarten age kids publishing their own voice over photo, and videos to their blog independently within 5 minutes of being handed the ipad with our app - it’s quite a sight to see! As a fellow early years teacher said, “You guys have thought of everything.”
Don’t forget, this app will also allow you to post pretty much ANYTHING on the camera roll to the class blog - so say goodbye to emailing those Puppet Pal movies and Explain Everything videos. This app absolutely moves the emphasis from technology to creation and content, allowing your students to focus on what’s important.
What do teachers think?
"Just wanted to tell you some exciting news! I had three teachers at my house today and showed them my edublogs site (which they were excited by) but then I showed them your app and how BASIC and easy it was for early years kids to blog, and well they were falling over themselves to get your app and begin blogging. They thought blogging was for upper primary and was too hard but I showed them your app and they were literally jumping out of their skins! I’m going to promote this app to everyone I know! I’ve never thought blogging could be so easy for kids (and teachers!)."
Kind Regards,
Jasmine

From the team at ORIGINATOR - the creators of the beloved Endless Alphabet and Sesame Street's Monster at the End of This Book and Another Monster.... Originator is a team of passionate artists and engineers dedicated to the best education+entertainment apps for kids.
As a follow-up to Endless Alphabet, set the stage for early reading success with Endless Reader! This app introduces "sight words", the most commonly used words in school, library, and children's books. Kids need to recognize these words by sight in order to achieve reading fluency. Recognizing sight words is advantageous for beginning readers because many of these words have unusual spelling, cannot be sounded out using phonics knowledge, and often cannot be represented using pictures.
Kids will have a blast learning sight words and their context and usage with the adorable Endless monsters. Each word features an interactive word puzzle with letters that come alive, and then a sentence puzzle with words that become what they describe. See the word "dog" as a barking dog, and the word "up" reach for the sky!
** NOTE: You must be online and have sufficient disk space while running the app to get all words in the app. **
Features:
More than just a game, First Words Sampler is a powerful educational tool for toddlers and preschoolers. It provides hours of fun while giving your child a head start on learning about letters and words.
If your child is old enough to ask for your phone, they're old enough for First Words Sampler!
First Words Sampler teaches kids about letters, how letters relate to sounds, and even how to spell words. First Words Sampler is toddler-tested and approved, with a user-interface designed specifically for the littlest of fingers. The game includes beautiful illustrations, each matched with entertaining sounds and high-quality recordings of letters and words.
Kids can play the game by themselves, but they also enjoy bringing their adults along, talking about the animals, saying the names of the letters, and watching the pictures spin around and sound off.
This free application is a sampling of words selected from our highly rated paid apps, First Words Animals and First Words Deluxe. We've also included some words from our Spanish, German, Japanese and French First Words apps. If you like First Words Sampler, you can keep your toddler laughing and learning with the full paid applications.
Note: We love getting feedback and hearing stories about kids using our software. Leave a comment in iTunes and send us feedback at learningtouch.com. Tell us what you'd like to see us do next.

Welcome to the world of Cultiwords, a unique word-of-the-day game created by the team here at The Learning Club to boost your vocabulary and to improve your memory.
Short term memory can be improved through simple word games and new additions to your personal dictionary. The capacity to use a word in context calls upon long term memory storage. With this application, raise the bar by learning new words, reviewing the memorized ones, keeping track of them in your personal vocabulary bank.
Get the app now and you can start with a 40-words set, including definitions, anecdotes and several review questions. You can then get more specific vocabulary sets within the app!
For example, would you be able to define the word « moot »? We say that a « moot » point is a subject of debate that does not come to a given endpoint.
With Cultiwords, in just several minutes per day, words such as "moot" will become familiar.
The Cultiwords team consists of highly intelligent humanoids, neurobiologists, developmental scientists, and information experts. Our goal is to spice up each users' vocabulary, one word at a time.
ReadWriteThink's Word Mover mobile app is used to supplement classroom instruction, reinforce concepts taught in class, and offer increased student engagement through the use of tablet devices and their associated functionality.
Word Mover allows children and teens to create "found poetry" by choosing from word banks and existing famous works; additionally, users can add new words to create a piece of poetry by moving/manipulating the text.
FEATURES:

TheSaurus is an interactive visual thesaurus. When you search for a word, the word and its synonyms are presented as a graph. The word node that was searched becomes the root of the graph and is centered in the middle.
Word nodes are connected to meaning nodes. A meaning node can be a noun, verb, adjective, or adverb. Word nodes themselves are defined by the set of meaning nodes with which they are associated. If two word nodes are connected to the same meaning node, then those two word nodes will have that meaning in common.
If you tap on a node, you will be presented with the node's definition. Since a word's definition is its set of meanings, all of its meanings will be presented when it is tapped.
By default, the graph only shows a limited number of nodes at a time. If a node has neighbors that aren't currently displayed, it will have a magenta outline. Tapping on one of these nodes will expand the graph to show that node's neighbours.

If you're looking for a fantastic multiplayer game AND a fun way to help children learn new words, look no further....
Futaba is a 4 player game designed for kids. This outrageously fun word quiz game can be used at home or in the classroom as a entertaining way to build language skills.
**** DESIGN YOUR OWN GAMES ****
It's perfect for children 4-8 and is ideal for supporting class room activities of all types (or just as fun to play at home!). Futaba is a great way to learn a 2nd language learner or you could even use it in your history class.
The idea is simple; Each player takes a seat around the iPad and taps in to start. The game begins as images zoom into the playing area. The first player to match the word to the image scores a point. Win 3 rounds and you'll be awarded a giant (but very friendly) seedling...
Futaba (Japanese for 'seedling") was originally conceived by Dave Wingler, from Osaka Kunei Girls' Junior and Senior High in Osaka, Japan. The idea was to provide a simple and fun way for ESL students to practice learning words in a classroom environment. After contacting INKids, we decided to build the Futaba game so it could not only be used in Dave's classroom, but in homes and classrooms throughout the world.
Futaba comes with over 100 wonderful hand drawn illustrations, professional audio soundtracks and has high quality visuals (just check the screen shots below).
**** USE YOUR OWN IMAGES & TEXT ****
Parents, teachers and even students themselves can create their own content by using either the built in camera, the camera roll by copying images to iTunes. NEW: Dropbox account holders can also upload new images via the drop!
This is only available in the full version. Future support is planned for iCloud.
