Teaching kids to spell includes much more than a list of spelling words students should memorize and write on a spelling test each week. Effective spelling methods do not rely on rote memorization, but are developmentally appropriate and hands-on. Word Study is a widely research-based spelling approach whose purpose is to “examine words in order to reveal the logic and consistencies within [the] written language system and to help student achieve mastery in recognizing, spelling, and defining specific words” (Words Their Way, Bear, et. al, 2012). Word Study is developmentally appropriate because it takes into consideration what the student understands or does not yet understand about spellings and word meanings to discover where spelling instruction should start. This is accomplished by looking at the student’s misspellings of certain word patterns (from simple words like man to more complex words such as multitude). It is hands-on in that it requires students to analyze, manipulate, and create meaningful and logical generalizations of how word spellings work. Two important skills for beginning readers and writers are knowing letters and letter sounds. Beginning letter sounds are typically the easiest for young children to recognize or hear. This is evident in their invented spellings. For example, frog may be spelled with just an F. As kids develop in their understanding of letters and sounds, ending sounds usually come next (spelling FG for frog) followed by the middle vowel sound (FOG for frog). Typically, the ability to hear and recognize harder features such as, blends and digraphs, comes next (FROG for frog). This spelling development, as explained further by Becky Spence in Teaching Kids to Spell, is the foundation for the letter activities found in Alphabet Sounds App. Within each level (1- Beginning Sounds, 2- Ending Sounds, 3- Middle/Vowel Sounds, and 4- Blends and Digraphs) are four activities: 1. Sort It! - Players can enjoy shopping, the beach, or taking down the laundry while sorting letters by their sounds based on pictures. 2. Find It! - Players are shown four pictures and asked to find the one picture that has a different sound than the rest. 3. Spell It! - Players move spelling tiles in place to finish the spelling of the words that are pictured. 4. Write It! - Players trace or write beginning, ending, and middle letters in the early levels of the app. As they progress, players can do the same for blends and digraphs. Fun Section: Also included in this app is a "fun" section where kids can play with their letters and sounds with BINGO, a matching game, or a slingshot game.

My kids love to play this app. I love that the kid gets to go shopping and place items in the shopping cart with the initial sound. You can have them shop for items for two beginning sounds or three. Plus there are other activities like learning formation of the letters. This is a game my kid asks to play!

This is a great app for kids to work on phonemic awareness & basic phonics! I am a special education teacher, and we have used this app to give struggling students a little extra practice that is engaging and fun. The students love it, and their ability to segment sounds improved in a few weeks!

This app is one of my students' favorites! I especially used it to help reinforce beginning, middle & ending sounds. I recommend this app to anyone who has a child/student that needs a tool to help reinforce that concept.

My 5 year old loves using this app. I love that it doesn’t have any popular characters or is super flashy.
