Good Free App of the Day: Build A Word Express

Today's Good Free App of the Day is Build A Word Express - Practice spelling and learn letter sounds and names (that's the app's full name).

The app provides two games, sound of letter and names of letter, that allow children to spell words two different ways. There are in-app links to additional purchases, however.

 

 

If you would like to download Build A Word Express please support smartappsforkids.com by using this link. Thanks for your support!

 

 

From iTunes:

Build A Word Express helps children as young as three learn how to spell by using either sounds of the letters (phonics) or names of the letters (spelling).

*focus is put on identifying sounds
*words are sounded out or spelled out
*two modes: Practice and Quiz
*option between upper and lower case letters
*positive reinforcement lowers affective filters making learning a more enjoyable process
*child-friendly interface
*custom made features for special needs students

The underlying pedagogical methodology for this application is to teach children letters as well as to teach them how to combine letters into words. A child is offered either/both a visual prompt or/and audio prompt to “write” a word. The word is to be written by dragging appropriate letters one at a time in the designated slot in the correct order.

 

 

 

 * Rather than just post a list with links we're going to find one free app each day, make sure it's worth downloading, and post the info.

Here are the rules:

1) The app has to have some substance as free. In other words, it can't be a few seconds of play and then require an in-app purchase. 

2) My kids or I have to like it.

3) It can't have ads all over it.

Thank you, Smart Apps For Kids Community! Thanks to everyone who rated the app and everyone who put an extra effort to write a review like Racers Mommy, Preschool Speechie, Sebemase,Speechlanguageplay, 1tarakirk, Mama With A Mission, etc.
AtReks cares about his users! We read your reviews and do our best to improve and meet users' needs.

Thus, we have made a spelling app in which you can create multiple spelling lists (type in your word and record your voice): http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/build-a-word-easy-spelling/id415596411?mt=8

Furthermore, Build A Word Express - Practice spelling and learn letter sounds and names App allows the user to hear each word multiple times by tapping the targeted word (presented in letters or question marks) in the app.

Also, AtReks has made it possible for the user to change/customize options in the settings by activating retractable ribbon (tap arrow in the upper right corner of your iPad) in Build A Word Express - Practice spelling and learn letter sounds and names App so the user does not have to leave the app (close it, shut it down), and does not have to leave the target word.

The best way to contact us and ask for an additional feature would be by e-mail: office AT atreks.com. We welcome your suggestions and ideas! Thank you!
