When did you decide to develop this app?
We wanted to develop a series of apps that help children learn to read, so this third app helps children master the ending letter sounds.

When did you first release this app?
April 26, 2013

How long did it take you to develop this app?
One month

What is your favourite feature?
In this fun educational app, the child matches the pictures to the ending sound letter(s) shown in the middle. The child can tap any picture to hear the pictures name. The first five levels provide letter(s) sounds to help the child associate what the ending sound match might be. Levels 6-15 do not have letter(s) sounds so the child is challenged to develop more skills to build reading strategies.

What is your favourite page in the app? mzl-1.tcxfkydk.480x480-75
It’s fun for kids to play a short “Match Game” after completion of all levels.

What skills were you hoping to help the end user to develop?
This app is the third in a series to help children build developmental reading skills as well as strategies. These skills and strategies are drawn from the Reading Recovery program and Silvana’s 25 years of experience in working with young school age children.

What age range would this app most suit?
Ages 3-6.

What are the recommended apps in this developmental reading series?
The next recommended apps “Ending Sound Sorts” is “Rhyme Sorts”, then “Word Family Sorts”. Coming soon will be “CVC Sorts 1 and CVC Sorts 2” in May, 2013.
