Alphabetics refers to the awareness of how the letters of the alphabet relate to the sounds of the language.
It involves being aware of the sounds that make up a word and how they relate to the letters.

# data[].attributes.body
Phonemic Awareness is the ability to hear, identify and manipulate the sounds that make up the words.

# data[].attributes.body
Phonics instruction helps readers learn how the letters of written language map the sounds of spoken language.

# data[].attributes.body
. Children with Autism are slower to develop phonemic awareness; they overgeneralize rules pronouncing words oddly and are slower learning the exceptions to the rules.

. Children with Autism have trouble decoding the systematic relationship between letters and phonemes, an essential task in learning how to read.

. Explicit phonic instruction significantly improves word recognition and leads to better reading comprehension.

# data[].attributes.body
Vocabulary means that a child knows the words needed to communicate effectively, speaking and listening or reading and writing.

# data[].attributes.body
. Many children with Autism suffer from Hyperlexia, which is characterized by an intense focus or preoccupation with numbers and letters, the early an spontaneous ability to read words, and a significant gap between word-level decoding and comprehension.

. Even if children with Autism have strong word recognition skills, their ability to understand what they are reading is very poor.

# data[].attributes.body
Text comprehension is the most dynamic and complex skill used in reading. Readers must be able to think intentionally about what they are reading so that they can construct meaning by relating what they read to what they know. It is an active process

# data[].attributes.body
. Children with Autism struggle with the ability of shifting their attention from a word level to the sentence level to create global understanding.

. Children with Autism struggle to construct organizational structure or schema to facilitate their memory.

# data[].attributes.body
Fluency is the ability to read a text accurately and effortlessly. Readers make their reading sound spontaneous, generating natural speech; expressive and meaningful.

# data[].attributes.body
. Children with Autism struggle to integrate words into meaningful phrases because their cognitive resources are used trying to sound out each word.

.Reading fluency is only possible when decoding words happens automatically and does not tax the reader’s cognitive resources.

. Reading aloud is the best way to develop fluency

Endless Alphabet is an interactive educational app that can help children hear, identify and manipulate the sound of each letter of a word. Each letter forms part of an interactive puzzle that makes the word. The letters have sounds and short animations. It is a super fun and engaging way of learning the sounds of letters.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
My kids had Endless Alphabet app on theirs iPads since they were 18 months. They were sooooo having fun and laughing on the littles monsters moving and saying the letter. They wanted to play all the time.
This app is wonderful for dexterity. They have to grab the monster and move it on the right letter.
As of homeschool mom, you want something well done and funny for the kids to want to learn. I recommend this app !!! It's the best for many reasons : learning with fun, alphabet letter pronunciation(kid repeat the monster saying the letter) , find the right letter, put the right letter in the world and learning words.

Bug fixes and performance improvements, have fun!

Fantastic app

Once again Monkey Preschool has launched a game that is super fun for kids play and yet teaches them essential skills. Our 3 and 4 year old love this game!!!

Great interactive app

Getting my son to do his homework and enjoy it is a frustrating task. I introduced this to him on the weekend and he loves it! Spent half the day on it, building his terrarium while learning!
Some more interesting prizes for the terrarium would be fun!
Well done!

Lots of options!

Love that I can program this for my two children separately. I'd love to see even more parental control options such as the ability to turn off (or significantly delay) hints or control how often a reward is given. I love the terrarium rewards, as do my children. There are enough different games to keep attention without losing focus. Great app!

Fixes a bug with iOS 11.3.1

Noodle words

This is a great app. The only reasons I didn't give it five stars is because of the limited number of words. Also, children with poor impulse control sometimes hit the word box several times in a row making the words come up all at once. I think it would be better if there was a setting where one word had to finish its action before the next word can be activated.

It is ok to play with your words!

Noodle Words HD - Action Set 1. What a joyful and just plain fun app to teach action words and basic iPad skills. This is not a flash card or drill game....it is learning by literally playing with words. For example, the word stretch can be stretched and then snaps like a rubber band across the page. The word sparkle, lights up and sparkles! And if that isn't enough, you have two delightful bug hosts, acting out the words to help reinforce learning. Skills such as dragging and dropping, using both hands to shake things up, and using fine motor skills to pinch and pull words apart is presented in such an original and unique way that it helps kids gain meaning to words and retain what they are doing. This is certainly an app that helps bridge using letters to form words. There are no ads or IAPs- and this is one of the few times that I wish there were as I wanted more. Highly Recommended.

Noodle Words HD - Action Set 1

I was a little nervous to get my son this app as I was not sure what it would offer him or if he would enjoy it. It turns out he is LOVING this app! The little bugs that animate the words are cute and he loves seeing them interact with each other and act out the words (spin, jump, and other action words). He has many fun games and books on his iPad but he has been going back to Noodle Words since I downloaded it earlier this week.
If you have a child who is learning vocabulary words and may be reluctant to work with action word flashcards, like mine is, this is a fantastic app for letting your child work on his own, but still getting great words practiced both to hear and to see the spelling.

Version 9.1.0

We cleaned up some bugs to make learning faster, easier, and even more fun!

Expensive but good app

My daughter has been using this as a very beginner(to reading). She really enjoyed it for a while, but has quickly become too easy. I wish there was a way to skip ahead if the child finds a part too simple. To make it more challenging/more interesting.
She has now lost interest.
Very good app to start tho.

We are so sorry to hear this, but we are here to help! Please reach out to our Member Experience team at support@homerapp.com, with the email address you used to create your HOMER Reading account with, so we can help you with this as quickly as possible.

They emailed me after I cancelled the free month

They offered the app for $0.99 per month direct from HOMER rather than the $7.99 per month subscription through Apple. Very shady. Not impressed with their lack of integrity and I won't pay for it even at $0.99 per month.

My kids like the app but it didn't keep their attention amazingly or show a marked improvement in their literacy skills. Meh.

We apologize for any confusion this promotion may have caused. Because iTunes is its own billing entity we are unable to offer discounts or promotions on iTunes subscriptions. If you have any additional questions please feel free to reach out to our Member Experience Team at support@homerapp.com.

Rip off

The $8 Learn to read fee sounded like a one-time fee. It's not! I was charged monthly. It is way too much and misleading. I will never purchase an app from this company again.

Very good

As an elementary school English as a second language teacher, I find that many of Mobile Education Stores' apps are great! I use Question Builder because the students must think critically in order to choose the correct answer to a question supported by a colorful picture on the screen. I like that the question choices include plausible, but incorrect answer choices. You can raise or lower the level of difficulty in the settings menu. One thing that is missing however, is the option to have the iPad read the answer choices. The questions can be read aloud, but students must be readers to choose an answer, making this app unusable as a listening comprehension game for young students who are not yet able to read. When the students correctly answer, there are some funny animated characters that come out and cheer for them. Likewise, there are words of encouragement if they answer incorrectly. The app has a statistics page so you can monitor the students' progress. One problem I have with the app is that you cannot go from a sentence that you are building to the settings or statistics page until/unless you correctly build the sentence. This creates unnecessary hassle if you want to quickly check-in on a student's progress or change the difficulty.

Nice app for questions and syntax

This app is great for answering questions, but also, working on answering in a complete sentence. I agree with one of the other reviews in that this app requires you to pay attention to the question to make sure you answer appropriately. One in particular is a picture of a girl and a snowman and the question is, "What are the snowman's arms made of?" So many kids automatically say snow and I have to remind them to listen and I repeat the question. After that they do a much better job of listening and focusing on what exactly was asked. It would be nice for non readers if like in Conversation Builder Teen you had a way to hear each sentence by pressing a button. I understand that would be a lot of work so it may not be possible or at least not happen for some time. Also, two things I noticed in the What section, the girl looks like she is wearing a pink dress not a red dress as the answer states and the girl in the wheelchair picture has the answer of "There is a piano is in front of her". Overall, I really like this app. Any chance for when and who to be added?

Horrible app, poorly worded questions

I am extremely disappointed with this app. I have been very pleased with Conversation Builder and was hoping for another quality app with Question Builder. Most of the questions have very little to do with inference, but focus more on counting (how many children, leaves, apples, etc. are in the picture). One picture shows a partially exposed alligator in a river. The question is, "where are the other alligators?". I would infer that the other alligators were in the river as well, however the correct answer is, "I don't know". There are questions where clearly incorrect answers are 'correct'. For example, one question asks how many red flowers are in the picture. The answer is "2" but there are NO red flowers in the picture. Another question is, "Where did the kids get their lunches?". The "correct" answer is that they were packed by their moms, however, the child is clearly eating a school lunch with hot food on a tray. Yet another question asks, "where did the tomatoes learn to sing?" (yup, singing tomatoes). The answer is not at school or in the garden, but "from their teacher". Additionally, there are grammatical and spelling errors throughout (sandals are spelled "sandels", etc. ). Do not waste your money, this app will only frustrate you and your children/students.

Ok

It is good
And it helps me well it still helps

Great but more words would be better

Love this app but I wish there were more word varieties. Some words are very tricky for children who have significant sound delays.

Disappointed

Download the app and you only get one letter for free🙄. 5 dollars for every letter after that.

SENspeller is an application that helps to teach letter and sound recognition to children with Autism. It plays to the strengths of visual learners and helps them build on fluency.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
SENspeller is a unique and innovative resource targeted at the parents and teachers of children with special educational needs particularly those with non-verbal autism. Its principal focus is to assist children to recognise words and spell them correctly, in an environment that can be customised to suit each child's individual requirements.

Communication and comprehension can often be limited with children on the autism spectrum.

SENspeller has 3 distinct stages of spelling development, and as a parent you can monitor each child's progress through the stages. This helps to ensure that your child is learning to spell rather than simply picture and word matching.

Many children on the autism spectrum are visual learners and rely heavily on visual cues to aid their learning.

SENspeller makes the learning experience personal to your child as it allows you to upload your own personal pictures and record your own voice. This ensures that your child can make those all-important literal connections between the words they are trying to learn and the real life object.

For example, the word 'cat' would be associated with a real life picture of their pet 'cat'.

It has also been recognised that many individuals on the spectrum experience some form of sensory sensitivity and have difficulty screening out unwanted stimuli.

SENspeller is low arousal. Removing those colours, sights, sounds and movements that may cause distress, For example, all writing is black on a white background, with no loud music or moving pictures.

SENspeller has the capacity to work with 10 children progressing through different topics and stages, giving each child a unique learning experience.

SENspeller has the capability to store 200 words at any one time. By giving you the ability to edit topics and words, more complex words can be added and learned as a child progresses through their educational stages.

SENspeller gives you the ability to upload your own photos and record your own word sounds. Ensuring a personal link is always made between the photo shown and the word to be learned.

SENspeller aids you in monitoring the progress of each child's learning, by giving you access to their gameplay history:

Date last played

Topics completed

Individual topic scores

Words yet to be spelled correctly

Current stage reached

SENspeller is supplied with:

10 common topics which can be edited (Family, Transport, Home, School etc)

100 words, 10 per topic which can also be edited (Mummy, Car, Bed, Pencil etc)

Simple line drawings are provided for each word (to be replaced with a photo)

A voice recording for each word (which can be re-recorded)

Voice recordings for each letter of the alphabet

Voice recordings for successful spelling and completion of stages (which can be toggled on/off
