What is SOUND BEGINNINGS?
SOUND BEGINNINGS is an app designed to help children build strong phonics skills and develop foundational reading skills through interactive games. The app includes six learning games that offer practice in phonics and reading, and it uses lowercase letters instead of uppercase letters at the beginning, middle, and end of words.
1. SOUND BEGINNINGS includes six interactive games, where players match the correct letter/sound to the first, middle, or last sound of the word identifying a pictured object.
2. Using the example above, in the first game players must select "r" as the beginning sound.
3. In this example, players would select the kangaroo as the photo matching the first sound of the word.
4. In the last two games, players must drag photos to match the end sound and the middle sound respectively.
5. The first three games, in order of increasing challenge, ask the child to select the correct letter/sound for the beginning, end, and middle of a word.
6. For example, finding the first sound of a word, the following lowercase letters appear at the top of the screen, which is in landscape orientation: r, q, y, s, and j.
7. The last three games are identical to the first, except now players match Pictures to Letters.
8. Six learning games offer practice using the sounds and not the names of the letters, and lowercase instead of uppercase letters at the beginning, middle, and end of words.
9. Created by a team of educators and experts in early childhood development and education, and tested with preschool children to ensure maximum fun and learning potential, SOUND BEGINNINGS features the outstanding user interface found in all Preschool University apps.
10. SOUND BEGINNINGS helps build strong phonics skills and helps develop foundational reading skills through entertaining, interactive games.
11. And in the third game, players would choose the "u" as the middle sound.
