After your child has successfully learned his alphabet and sounds, the next natural step is to teach how to put those sounds and letters together to form words. This app is excellent for that. It is not a plain drag the letters to the squares and whatnot, this app actually teaches the power of blending and such. Very thankful for this app. My son is five and has just started to blend, this will give him the needed boost. I recommend this app for beginning readers or check out the level one. Hats off to the developers!
