Montessori - Learn to Read 2.2.4

Montessori Words & Phonics is an educational application designed for children, built upon the established Montessori learning method. This app aims to enhance children's reading, writing, and spelling abilities through a variety of word-image-audio-phonics combinations using a phonics-enabled Movable Alphabet.

The application serves as a valuable tool for young learners, focusing on two fundamental concepts:

• Firstly, it acquaints children with the idea that words consist of sounds/phonics (phonemic awareness). It achieves this by allowing children to interact with empty spaces, prompting them to drag letters to complete a word and hear the corresponding sound associated with those letters.
• Secondly, the app assists children in associating phonics with specific letters through a phonics-enabled alphabet feature. Here, users can touch individual letters to listen to their corresponding sounds.

Montessori Words & Phonics offers customization options for children to select words based on difficulty levels or sound categories. The application provides:

• Three levels of difficulty, ranging from simple CVC words to more intricate phonics patterns like long vowels and blends.
• 44 sound categories, allowing children to focus on words containing specific phonetic sounds such as "long a" or the sound "k".
• An engaging learning experience with sounds, animations, and interactive visual effects that appear upon completing a word. Users can choose between capital, lower-case, or cursive letter displays for added challenge.

Key features of the app include:

• 320 word-image-audio-phonics combinations suitable for children aged 3/4 to 8, aiding them in developing foundational literacy skills.
• Utilization of the recognized Montessori learning method emphasizing Phonemic Awareness and Phonics.
• A Phonics-enabled Movable Alphabet enabling users to hear the sound associated with each letter they touch.
• Option to select words based on difficulty or sound categories.
• Incorporation of 42 letter sounds/phonics elements.
• Variety of letter display formats: capital letters, lower-case letters, or cursive writing.
• Engaging visual effects that animate upon word completion, following the child's interaction.
• A Movable Alphabet feature offering open-ended activities for young learners grasping letter recognition.
• Opportunity for children to use the app individually or collaboratively with a parent, including educational instructions within the app.

In conclusion, Montessori Words & Phonics provides a playful environment where children can enhance their reading skills effectively.
