Description

Mobile Montessori is proud to present the Movable Alphabet!
After learning to identify and blend the sounds of the letters of the alphabet children are often ready to build words on their own. However, the ability to write them down with paper and pencil may require much more time and practice to acquire. Therefore, Dr. Montessori prepared the Movable Alphabet for children to “write” words, long before mastering the physical skill of writing.
Children can phonetically sound out words, one letter at a time to build words. The app includes over 40 images of simple words, along with audio pronunciations and instructions, for children to practice with. Additional word sets are available via InApp Purchase!
One unique feature in this app, are the buttons in the box above each letter. Children can touch the buttons to hear the sound of the letters, giving them the ability to "search" for the sound they are thinking of to build their word!

About the Word Sets:
Once the children begin the process of composing three letter words (consonant-vowel-consonant) with the Movable Alphabet they are encouraged to move on to building four and five letter words. In our experience in the classroom, it is best to follow the CVC words with four letter, CVCC words, which often seems to be easier for the blending of sounds leading up to the actual reading of words. Mastering word building requires lots of practice and repetition. Following this, we introduce four letter, CCVC words and then five letter, CCVCC words. As the children master these skills they often explore the process all on their own and have fun expressing their own ideas using the Movable Alphabet!
Word Sets 1 & 2: CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant), three letter words (bat, fin, jug, etc.)
Word Set 3: CVCC (consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant), four letter words (fast, bulb, hand, etc.)
Word Set 4: CVCC (consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant), four letter words ending with “ck” or “nk” (sack, rink, tack, etc.)
Word Set 5: CCVC (consonant-consonant-vowel-consonant), four letter words (clap, flex, spot, etc.)
Word Set 6: CCVCC (consonant-consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant), five letter words (drink, twist, slept, etc.)
Dr. Montessori observed in her work with children that after working with the Movable Alphabet children experienced an “explosion in to reading!” Our goal is to bring a sampling of this excitement to a large audience via the Movable Alphabet on the iPad!
We thank you for your support of our apps and hope you enjoy this one!

No feedback

I am a Montessori guide looking for a way to keep my son engaged over summer break. This app is like the material in the classroom. However, if a child is using an app the expectation is that they are not working with an adult one-on-one and therefore will need some feedback from the app. I knew this would be a simple app, but when using it to spell words I expected it to say if my son was correct of not. As it stands he could put jjj next to hat and it wouldn’t matter. Also, the voice has a strong accent on the a, o, and e sounds and the c sound doesn’t isolate just the /c/ but says “cu”.
I tried to get a refund through apple but couldn’t. $5 was too much for such a simple app.

Don't waste your money

Not what I thought it would be at all. Very limited and you have to pay for upgrade to have many options

Misleading

I thought that this app would allow me to make words and practice tracing script. WRONG. Just allows you to drag script letters up to an area to spell words as given by icons. Boring and overpriced.

Not worth the price

I'm disappointed with this app. Not very learning friendly. Definitely wouldn't have bought it if I had tried a lite version of it.

Disappointed

I want my money back. This does not teach children how to form the letters and it is so boring.
