After our great experience with another app by this developer that teaches sight words, I decided to try this app as well based on my children’s kindergarten teacher’s recommendation. The app is a great introduction to letter sounds. My kids were thrilled with the app, so I upgraded to the full version, so they could finish it and discover the secret of the island. It is great that the app teaches children letter sounds rather than just names as most apps do. The train and magic island theme full of animals is very well chosen for kids. There is also an endearing Abby monkey character. I also appreciate that the app teaches letter writing of both uppercase and lowercase letters. For my youngest child, tracing was initially a bit of a challenge but he quickly improved and now loves this activity even more than popping balloons. I would warmly recommend this app to everyone who wants to bring up a good reader in their child.
