PocketPhonics (basic edition) Ratings and Reviews

Very useful aid to homeschoolers.

I am a mother of two boys, 3 & 5. I have had this app for 3 years. I homeschool my boys and started this app as a median to teach sounds form words. I began this app with my eldest son at 2 yrs old. He had already memorized his letter and some of their sounds by 18 months. He loved this app and making words. I love that this app teaches phonetics as that is how i teach to read. My eldest son was reading simple 3 to 4 word sentences at the age of 3yrs. I now use this for my youngest son and it is helping with his speech (he is also in speech therapy with his school). He can now build words using sounds, but has issues with multiple syllable words. I do wish i could adjust some of the practice words, add more words to help build more practice, and create a more gradual learning curve. However, overall it does work and it is a great tool!

One of my best apps!

I love this app and find it quite comprehensive and entertaining at the same time to keep kids interest going. I've seen my two toddlers grow up liking it and using it a lot. I think it really works! Thumbs up from a mom who does tons of research before getting anything for her kids!

5 year old plays it all the time.

Our granddaughter loves this app and spends a lot of time playing. Her letters are well made without reversals. She write text messages and spells most words correctly and effortlessly in her 3 month of kindergarten.

Loved by my 2.5 and 5 year olds

Both of my kids are bi lingual Hebrew and English. I'm not pushing English on them from a reading point of view yet, but they both enjoy tracing the letters and finding them in the words.

Pocket phonics

This app is well designed, the production of the speech sounds is very well done as is the feedback to the student using the app. I highly recommend Pocket Phonics!

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your kind words and support.

Best! Deliver results!

Amazing results! One of the few apps found that truly produce results. Worth the time effort and $

Great practice

Great product for practice. My son and students enjoyed and benefited from this app.

Way too buggy for $$$

It's critical to be consistent when teaching a child to read and sound out letters.

App is far too buggy!

It shows a wrong slides for its audio far too often for my liking.

If app were only two or three dollars, I'd be more willing to overlook.

In this case, the high/premium app cost does not equate to a high/premium quality design and function. Look elsewhere for your spelling needs...

In my case, I think a large Magna Doodle would have been a much better use of my hard-earned $$$.

Strong phonics introduction

Follows principals of effective instruction. I teach teachers how to teach reading and I use this for my kid!

Great tool to start!

Fun and easy to get kids started!
