First reading

This learning app for kids comes from Teachbasix Technologies – which created several learning apps for 3-8 year old kids to hone their reading ability and the basic number concepts.

In this app, there are three reading activities. Choose Words, Choose Sentences, and Make Sentences.

For Choose Word, the program speaks out a word. For example, it may say, “leg”. Then the child has to choose leg among the four possible options that are there. Similarly, for Choose Sentences, the program speaks out a whole sentence, and the student has to choose the correct sentence among the four available options. For make sentences, the program speaks out a sentence, and you have to use the available words to construct that sentence.

The app uses 500 most frequently occurring phonetic and sight words, and sentences constructed from those words. Each of the activities have multiple levels. The words are ranked based on how frequently occurring they are – the most frequent words which are also easy to spell are put in the first level, next ones are in the second level and so on.

This learning app is good for classroom usage as well as reading practice at home.

You can monitor the progress of your child (or if you are a teacher, you can monitor the progress of your class), using the accuracy and average time taken metric given in the scorecard. The badge system (silver, gold, platinum) provides a quick preview of your child’s progress.

This app is nominally priced. We believe an ad-free experience is imperative for your child to focus without any distraction.
