Cost: 1.99
Age group: 0-5, 4+
Device capability: iPhone, IOS Devices, Android
App Summary:
This app is a learning interactive app that teaches kids letters and phonics by giving them creative things to customize each letter.i would use this as a remediation of the letters and letter sounds for those who are really struggling.
Out of all these I think the one I would use the most would be starfall. I love how it gives examples of letters and letter sounds and ties phonics into the program. It could work in a whole group setting on a one on one session.
I totally agree with your choice, because Starfall is an app that my Kindergarten students love. They're able to maneuver through the app on their own. The information is completely broken down and the verbiage is clear for all students, regardless of their learning level. I would always recommend Starfall to my lower level educators, as well as family members with small children. Starfall is a great resource!
