Latest reviews of Marbleminds Phonics app for iPhone and iPad
This app has been a great way to review phonics with my class. There are 2 wishes for the app: - that it did not use blends, for its pictures one of my students was sounding out a word (scissors) and it did not make sense to use in a phonics program - that I could choose the sounds I want to work on with my students, this is a great as a review for the whole alphabet but when children are learning initially there needs to be a way to limit the sounds used
This app is so fun! My son is working hard to collect his marbles.
I really like the concepts taught in this app, the the marble jar is always empty - even when it tells us weve earned some. If this bug is fixed, I will raise my review to a 5 star rating. If the title says "marbles," the marbles should work in the app.
This is a really cute app, but the very first thing I noticed after buying it was that the word exercise was misspelled. Not a good sign.
My son 5 year old son took to this learning game immediately. The pictures, clicks, and sounds are well thought out and make the game engaging and fun. Only complaint is that we cannot visually see the earned marbles. I would definitely get other learning apps like this if they became available. L. Stokes
