Antique ABCs
© 2011 Fusionlab, Inc.
The 1800's come to the 21st century, with this interesting but rather dry feeling early language app. The contents are based on 26 hand-engraved alphabet prints made by the famous German lithographer Joseph Martin Kronheim (1810-1896). There are three modes: Song, Spinner and Shuffle. The Song mode sings the classic alphabet song with period sound effects and animations. Spinner lets children spin the rattling wheel and test themselves on letters as they come up in random order. In Shuffle, children must reorder the jumbled alphabet by dragging and dropping each letter tile. All in all, this app presents yet another way to let children play with letters and related sounds and words.
