Product Description
-
This app has easy-to-use word lists of English words arranged by vowel and consonant type.
This app has four infinite work books.
This app has two learning tools.
-
• The four learning activities
The four infinite workbooks are available from a quickstart menu in the first menu. There are four blue diamonds that can be pressed in the top title each of which goes to one of the infinite workbooks.
The four infinite workbooks can normally be reached through the 'Simple Vowels' or the 'Simple Consonant' menu. A vowel or consonant type must be chosen in menu lvl.1. Then a subtype must be chosen in lvl.2 (making sure that the blue star isn't highlighted which allows for the sounds to play when the buttons are pressed.) Then the 'go' button must be pressed to go to the learning activity menu. The buttons 'Speaking', 'Listening', 'Matching', and 'Scramble' must be pressed. The student may swipe to change between word groups.
The speaking learning activity introduces the parts of speech of English. The initial sound of the word is by default hidden (a moon symbol is used) but the text can be shown from an option in the option menu (accessed by pressing the blue globe.) After the red buttons are pressed then the student must press the purple middle button (the final part of the word.) The student must then match the word sounds heard to the matching whole word.
The listening activity matches words heard to words written. A large button must be pressed. The word is hidden by default, but it can be read through an option in the option menu. After the button (with a crescent moon symbol) is pressed, then four written words appear. The correct word must be chosen.
The matching activity has the student listen (or read) the whole word by pressing the red button. The student then presses the middle purple button (which is a part of the word.) The student must match the speech parts which appear to the whole word.
The scramble has the student spell the word after hearing the word. The student can spell using letters or using speech sounds (if IPA is chosen in the option menu.)
-
• The wordlist menus
The wordlist menus are arranged by either vowel type or by consonant type. After choosing a vowel type or a consonant type in menu lvl.1, then a menu appears with the common uses of the vowel or consonant in English. There in menu lvl.2 a button with a blue diamond may be toggled. This will allow the student to tap the buttons and listen to the sounds of the word parts. (Making sure that the blue diamond button is not toggled) a sound choice may be chosen and the word list may be accessed in menu lvl.3. The words may be pressed to hear the sounds or the 'go' button may be pressed to go to the learning activity menu. The student may swipe between word groups.
-
• The language tools
There are two language tools, both of which are accessed from the first screen. The 'vowel' button lets the student build words using the sounds of English. The words are organized by a list of the English vowels. The 'consonant' button lets the student build words using the sounds of English. These words are organized by a list of all of the consonants in English. IPA can (and should) be used to build words easily.
-
• Option Menu
The sound may be toggled
The words for the learning activities can be toggled to be hidden
The use of the IPA alphabet may be toggled.
The vowel or consonant type may be changed in the option menu. this avoids having to use the large wordlist.
