This interactive app provides a fun and easy way to assess children's emergent literacy skills and is suitable for children, parents, and teachers to use. Emergent literacy skills provide the early foundations of reading and writing.
This app provides a summary of children’s letter name and sound skills and knowledge of words and numbers that can be instantly emailed to you. The results will highlight which skills your child needs further help with.
The assessments can be repeated at any time to follow your child’s emergent literacy growth. Parent and teacher tips are provided at the end of the app to help support your child’s learning further.
Young children will benefit from doing the assessments with a parent or teacher and older children may be confident to do the assessments by themselves.

This app is fun and user friendly. For young kids, this app provides great practice of alphabet knowledge and number skills. For teachers and parents, the app scores performance for progress monitoring. Multiple choice activities makes it easy for kids to use. Design is beautiful and performance is fast. I love this app and use it with my young students! They love it too! Makes my job as a teacher easy with self-administered activities.
Cbiscuitdowntown,
Not useful data, crashes often
The screen only goes vertical so if you have a horizontal iPad case it's hard to use. Every time I click "send email" the app crashes and obviously doesn't send the email. The data that it does show is in the order of the questions, NOT alphabetical order, so if you're using this as a checklist for which letters the child knows (which is what I was hoping to do) you have to go back and check them off manually, which for me defeats the point of having an "assessment app."
