Making Words app for iPhone and iPad

“Making Words” is an app that provides a fun and easy way for a parent or teacher to help a beginning reader recognize and use the Engelese® sound symbols. With a familiar flash card interface, many different types of quizzes can be presented: sounds, full words, words with missing sounds, etc. The pupil only needs to pronounce the displayed problem.

The patented Engelese® system represents sounds with pictures of common objects that stand for the first sound in their names. For example, the word “and” is drawn with an apple, a needle and a duck. Kids quickly recognize the pictures and their sounds: aaa- nnn- d. Before they even realize it, they are reading English!

The “Making Words” app is a valuable piece of the Engelese® learning series. The full set of free apps, can be used to provide a comprehensive set of exercises for both beginning and intermediate readers. The paid programs can then be added tor a complete learning experience.
