Froobles Phonics

This phonics app for the iPhone/iPad was FREE the day I downloaded it but is currently $.99. In the first two activities, kids line up the same three pictures to spell 3-letter words or to find words with the same short vowels. In the third activity, kids line up pictures of words from the same word family – a bit more challenging. There is a reward chart with the ability to set goals. The app is simple to use and colorful but there is limited sound in the app – a swiping sound, a “yeah” when a match is made. A phonics app without sounds seems like a missed opportunity to me. The letter sounds are not pronounced. The word is not pronounced after it is completed. Perhaps an update will included more sound.
