Learn the ABC with animals with Animals ABC

 Learn the alphabet with Animals ABC! This app is designed by experienced English language teachers of young and very young learners with coordination with their young students. The students with the guidance of their teacher picked the animals, the pictures and 'gave voice' to the letters.

This app is unique and helps our young student to actually learn how to combine the alphabet letters to create meaningful words. This stage is very important to the very first steps of learning on how to write. What is more, it helps students to develop their vocabulary awareness from an early age. It gives to students a great deal of interactivity and it offers a great sense of achievement whilst students are congratulated in each correct letter they find and then when they complete the whole word.

Here are some screenshots:

Practice Spelling with Rocket Speller - Young Learners


Rocket Speller is a fun and engaging spelling app for 3-7 year olds. Educators, occupational therapists, special education teachers, and parents agree that kids are engaged and learning with this app.


Kids join Zip the alien on an out-of-this-world spelling adventure to build a fancy new rocket. With 4 levels of difficulty, kids spell words to fuel his spaceship and help him choose the rocket pieces he needs. 

Correctly place letters to spell words and move through the game. Choose a rocket nose, body, and boosters. Once Zip has collected all the pieces, launch it from the launch pad and watch it soar into space!

Level 1 - Place letters in any order. Letter hints given.
Level 2 - Must place letters in order. Letter hints given. 
Level 3 - Simple words. Must place letters in order. No hints.
Level 4 - Complex words. Must place letters in order. No hints.

As a special surprise (and to invoke a giggle), touch Zip on the spelling pages and see what he does!

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Learn to spell words in a way that is fun, interactive and promotes self-initiated skill progression
- Develop awareness of how letters combine to form words
- Develop awareness of left to right order
- Promote letter recognition
- Reinforce knowledge of letter names
- Enhance vocabulary

Fairy Tail Puppet Theatre for Kids


Fairy Tail Puppet Theatre for Kids  is free iPad and iPhone application where you can perform your own puppet theater. The background can be changed and all the characters can be moved. Unfortunately, the free version  allows only two characters to be moved and you have to give 1.59 E to unlock all the characters. It is great for some role-playing and story-telling activities with young learners.

Teach ABC with a magnetic alphabet


  Magnetic Alphabet is a great tool for everyone. It aids in teaching preschoolers their alphabets/numbers, a learning tool in teaching one how to spell or sending messages to friends and family! The characters on the app are rendered beautifully and provided with nominal sound effects! Magnetic Alphabet is recommended for kids of all ages, especially to those parents with kids who are just beginning to learn their alphabet and numbers. At the free version, there are all the letters of the  alphabet available but numbers and some other sticker characters can be purchased for 1,59E. However, I did not need the numbers with my student and only worked with the letters.
