I’ve been busy teaching our eldest little to talk, and daily she’s picking up new words 🙂
Fortunately, I’m not just sticking to the tried and tested method of data-input to said little ‘un via the medium of books; I’ve also implemented tech solutions too! One of these is the download of some Apps to the iPhone – namely the First Words series!
There are three Apps you can get, each costing £1.19:
- First Words: Animals
- First Words: Vehicles
- First Words: At Home
The concept is very simple as you can see from the screenshot below:
The idea is to slide the letters in to place to form the word – each letter is pronounced as you touch it, and then the whole word is spelled AND pronounced once you have completed the block-moving. There’s tons of skills this is teaching the little one, including phonetics, spelling, and co-ordiation.
Personally I think these Apps are EXCELLENT – tried them out, and they really work! Highly recomended!
You can grab them all from iTunes by searching for “First Words” 🙂
