The three modules has a story of two girls Nat and Pat who invented alphabets. In every chapter they have associated the letter and sound with the picture so that the child can actually remember the pictures and with the help of picture he could draw an alphabet. The stories are really very exciting and the developer of the app has efficiently added story behind every alphabet. It is really awesome to see such creativity.

The story starts like “Long, Long ago before People could write Lived two girls who were ‘especially bright’”. Your ward will be very interested to listen to such stories and soon he will be associating words with sound and pictures. Soon when you will move from one story to another you will be adding more words to your vocabulary.

  1. Letters:

The letters section is really fun. In this section for every alphabet there is sound associated and a picture which covers the alphabet in such a way that you will soon remember the alphabet. This thought of making child remember the sound is just fantastic. As if , Child has to remember that Cat word start with C so he will learn the sound of C and then the app will make him remember the shape of C with the help of character which fits in the alphabet. Isn’t it exciting? Children will love to learn words with the help of this technique.

For making the child learn the sound of C app made this statement “I’ll help you. There are three sounds in Cat. The ‘c’ sound can just curl around the CAT”. This statement is just fantastic and I guess it is a superb way of making someone learn the sound and alphabet.

In this section Child will be able to learn how to spell some word.

Like if some child has to learn how to learn Cat. He can learn through Spell section in which “A FAT CAT, SAT ON A HAT, SPLAT! SPLAT! THAT HAT IS FLAT!”. Through these lines and phonemes he can learn many words in a single turn which have same sound in the last of the word. In this way he will be able to pronounce the words in a better way. I am just glad by looking at this section.
