Description
Ages 3-6. Designed for both parents and schools, this app beautifully provides children a way to "write" words in order to express themselves prior to mastering the use of pencil and paper! This is a preschool & kindergarten language activity that will help children learn the correct spelling of simple words.
We originally published this app back in 2011. After observing what others were doing with the Movable Alphabet, such as the Montessori Crosswords app, we wanted to create something that was more academic in nature vs. being more entertaining. So, we designed a very clean looking app that has a "manual" feel to it in order to closely resemble the physical Movable Alphabet material. Over the passed several years we've been thrilled to see schools systems incorporate our Movable Alphabet into their curriculums!
We're extremely excited about the new 3.0 update that came out in September! Many teachers and parents requested that we provide feedback to the child whether or not a word is spelled correctly. We wanted to do that, but in a way that still maintains the manual feel of the Movable Alphabet, without letters snapping into perfect positions. Well, after a lot of hard work, we've finally got something that has a great feel to it! Please watch the preview video to see how it works!
After learning to identify and blend the sounds of the letters of the alphabet children are often ready to build words on their own. However, the ability to write them down with paper and pencil may require much more time and practice to acquire. Therefore, Dr. Montessori prepared the Movable Alphabet for children to “write” words, long before mastering the physical skill of writing.
Children can phonetically sound out words, one letter at a time to build words. The app includes over 40 images of simple words, along with audio pronunciations and instructions, for children to practice with. Additional word sets are available, too!
To help the child construct the words correctly, they can touch the buttons in the box or the letters themselves to hear their sound, giving them the ability to "search" for the sound they are thinking of to build their word!
*****
About the Word Sets:
Once the children begin the process of composing three letter words (consonant-vowel-consonant) with the Movable Alphabet they are encouraged to move on to building four and five letter words. In our experience in the classroom, it is best to follow the CVC words with four letter, CVCC words, which often seems to be easier for the blending of sounds leading up to the actual reading of words. Mastering word building requires lots of practice and repetition. Following this, we introduce four letter, CCVC words and then five letter, CCVCC words. As the children master these skills they often explore the process all on their own and have fun expressing their own ideas using the Movable Alphabet!
Word Sets 1 & 2: CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant), three letter words (bat, fin, jug, etc.)
Word Set 3: CVCC (consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant), four letter words (fast, bulb, hand, etc.)
Coming soon: Word Set 4: CVCC (consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant), four letter words ending with “ck” or “nk” (sack, rink, tack, etc.)
Coming soon: Word Set 5: CCVC (consonant-consonant-vowel-consonant), four letter words (clap, flex, spot, etc.)
Coming soon: Word Set 6: CCVCC (consonant-consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant), five letter words (drink, twist, slept, etc.)
Dr. Montessori observed in her work with children that after working with the Movable Alphabet children experienced an “explosion in to reading!” Our goal is to bring a sampling of this excitement to a large audience via the Movable Alphabet on the iPad & iPhone!

3.0 Enjoy this major update to the Movable Alphabet!
Many of you asked for the app to provide feedback to the child whether or not a word is spelled correctly. We are happy to bring this new feature to the app! When the audio is played for each picture the child will be able to see an animation that shows them how many letters it takes to build the word, and the sound of each letter. We've added the ability to hear the sound of each letter every time you touch it! Once the correct letters are placed in the right positions to build the word, a green box appears around the word and you hear the audio pronunciation one more time.
The neat part is that we've kept the manual feel of the physical Movable Alphabet! The letters never "lock" into position, so they can always be moved and adjusted. Getting the words to "look right" by being properly aligned and spaced is up to the child! If a letter is moved out of position, the green box disappears and will reappear once the word is constructed correctly again.
We've improved some of the audio for more accurate letter sounds!
And, we've made the app UNIVERSAL! Which means, you buy the app once, and you can use it on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch!
We hope you enjoy this huge update to the Movable Alphabet and we appreciate your support! Please check out our constantly growing library of educational apps for schools and home use: http://www.mobilemontessori.org

Oilstories,
A little disappointed
Sometimes the word directly across from the picture doesn’t match what the speaker says... you end up having words and their spelling match diagonally (fox=pen, pen=fox)
Also the letter tray has the alphabet letters out of order in the bottom row.
For as anal as the Montessori method is, I am dismayed that these obvious mistakes haven’t been fixed by now.

No feature to save progress. Finicky about word building.
It’s June 2013 and since I saw similar comments from a long time ago, I thought that these bugs were fixed. We bought this app to contribute to the work this team is doing, but I’m disappointed that there is no feature to save work. My kid has to start over every time and this is very frustrating, after they successfully completed the work before (Montessori way). Further, the rectangles where the letters have to be placed a fuzzy about where the letter has to be positioned. This is not relevant to the movable alphabet, so it’s also very frustrating to my kid, when the box doesn’t turn green. It would be great to have the save feature and the rectangles be less buggy.

Great but flawed
The app is just what I was looking for except that it sometimes doesn’t sense where the letters are placed exactly so sometimes the game doesn’t say it’s right (green box) even when it is. This leads to lots of frustration and confusion.
emarieke,
Changes needed
This app would be better if there was the option to use control words (words spelled out already). I hope the developer makes this change. At the moment it remains too intimidating for my preschooler.

Question
My son loves the app. My only complaint is that half the time he identifies the letters of the word correctly but the box does not turn green. Is there a reason for this or a way to fix this issue?
nannnickname,
Jo’s and G’s don’t light up when spelled correctly
The app is still buggy, despite the latest updates.
KeanyaCarr,
Having trouble
Having trouble with some of the words. Any word with a j or g doesn't light when it's spelled correct
Onecontinentonecountry,
Glitch - sound glitch on “l”
Hello,
There’s a glitch where the “l” is placed; when you click on it, it sounds like “o” instead of sounding like “l”
Please fix. Thanks

Great apps for any Montessorian
As a certified Montessori toddler, early childhood, and lower elementary teacher I have to say I absolutely LOVE these apps. The subtle music and sounds, and the calmness of the voices fits right into the Montessori style of teaching. Not only do I use all of the apps for my own son at home, but I also recommend them to parents who ask for "homework", or who want to supplement their children's Montessori education further.
I understand that some people find the apps too boring for their children, or feel as if their children aren't "stimulated" enough. Montessori education stimulates children by giving them accurate facts to work with, not by overloading their senses with bright colors and animated pictures, or loud music and sounds.
These apps are a great addition to the Montessori curriculum, presenting children with the original tools but in a more modern medium.
