Endless Alphabet
© 2013 Originator
Here's an extremely strong early reading app that playfully introduces each letter, and shows children how the letters can be combined, like a jigsaw puzzle, to make words. Each letter becomes animated, sounds itself out and then becomes part of a word ensemble to sound out the final word. A narrator then defines the word, and a small skit is shown to illustrate the meaning. Linking word bits with meaning in a playful, child controlled way makes this an extremely valuable early reading experience. Interestingly, this Endless Alphabet isn't really endless, at least when you first install it. The first version only goes up to the letter G -- the rest of the alphabet is loaded whenever you start the app, as long as your iPad is online. There are free versions of the app, and this content is also part of Endless Learning Academy. Note: This app was originally published by Callaway Digital Arts in 2012. See also Endless 123.
