Learn to read with Montessori Words - 320 words for kids to read, write & spell
Montessori Words & Phonics is a top-rated educational app for kids based on the proven Montessori learning method. It helps kids develop their reading, writing, and spelling skills by building words from a set of 320 word-image-audio-phonics combinations using a phonics-enabled Movable Alphabet.
LEARN TO READ
Montessori Words & Phonics helps kids learn and understand two fundamental concepts:
First, the app teaches kids that words are made up of sounds/phonics (phonemic awareness) by letting them touch the empty rectangles where letters must be dragged to complete the word and hear the corresponding sound of the letter(s).
Secondly, the app helps kids memorize the phonics associated with letters by providing a phonics-enabled alphabet where kids can touch each letter and hear its corresponding sound.
With Montessori Words & Phonics, kids can select words based on difficulty or sound categories. The app features:
Three levels of difficulty, from simple CVC words to more complex phonics like long vowels and blends.
44 sound categories, allowing children to choose words containing specific sounds such as "long a" or the "k" sound.
The app also includes sounds, animations, and interactive visual effects that are displayed after a word is completed, making it an enjoyable learning experience. Choose between capital, lower-case, or cursive letter display for a greater challenge.

It's also for beginners that need to figure out how to hear the word and then touch the letters below to fill out the squares. In movable alphabet, you can make words that are have a initial consonant, a final consonant, and a short vowel.
This actually is a very awesome app for children to practice reading AND spelling. But, of course it needs updating. Last update was in 2013. Very outdated. And, I suggest that there is an option where small letters are used instead of the big letters since most letters used in sentences are small letters.
Concept is great and kids can learn really fast but why are the animations between words so long? (may be there is a hidden way to go to the next letter without suffering thru a whole minute or two of boring animations) Even I got bored with them, and thought something was wrong with the app. Please make them smaller, 2-3seconds maximum.
Let's face it, there are hardly any words in this free edition of the app. It's not really an app to use, only to see if you want to buy the full version. And even then, there are hardly enough words to tell if I want to. Also, the animations between words are ridiculously long, and I've checked the "shorter animations" box already in settings. It's like 10 seconds - WAY too long! Don't bother with this one. Nice concept but not worth it.
Thought it was good but kept just repeating the same 2 words!
