Fluency is defined as the ability to read with speed, accuracy, and proper expression. In order to understand what they read, children must be able to read fluently whether they are reading aloud or silently. When reading aloud, fluent readers read in phrases and add intonation appropriately.

Text comprehension refers to the readers ability to converge their current knowledge with what they are presently reading and drawing. Teachers make sure students understand what they are reading by asking questions and encouraging student questions and discussions. Effective instruction will help the reader actively relate his or her own knowledge or experience to the ideas written in the text, and then remember the ideas that he or she has come to understand.

Version 3.8.2

Paid app has advertisements for other apps in it

I don't usually write reviews for apps but I feel like I should for this one. This app has an advertisement in it that catches the eye of every single child who would ever use it and because of it the kid ends of clicking on the app advertisement instead of playing the game that we paid for him to play I think that this is a bad move and that they should reconsider how attentive attention grabbing that advertisement is so until they make a change so that my son can actually play the game rather than have his attention drawn to the bottom right corner every time he tries to do some thing. I am giving this a one star review and you bet that I'll be watching because we are stuck inside because of coronavirus thanks for listening to my Ted talk

Letter sound error

My great-nephew loves playing on this app. However, as a retired teacher, I was dismayed that Elmo and the astronaut both said ahhh for the "a" sound. The letter "o" makes the ahhh sound while "a" makes the short a sound. I just bought the whole app for him, so I hope there are no more errors with letter sounds. Hopefully, you can change this problem with an upgrade.

Not so great.

For the videos on letter L it keeps saying the letter "A" like "A", Leaf, "A" Lion

For the letter H it turns green when you haven't even finished tracing it, actually for a lot of the letters it "accepts" the trace unfinished.

The orange arrow that gets kids from the videos to drawings to hide and seek gets stuck a lot and is impossible to move sometimes. I often have to try at least ten times to move it or just give up.

A very weak app for a paid app.
I wish there was more educational value and less "fun". The only valuable part is the tracing and the three videos that correlate to the sound, the drawing is dumb because screen is too small to actually color AND it doesn't teach anything, and the hide and seek is defective and doesn't really help them learn anything.

Add content that appears throughout the year!

Sound

I viewed this app before purchasing it. I was impressed with its reading readiness skills and the application of technology skills as well. In comparing it with other apps, I was sold on this one.

Problem: How do I get to hear any sound? I have checked and rechecked my device and there is no problem with it.

Hello, thank you for the nice review! Please contact us here avokiddo.com/contact and we'll help you with the sound issue.

Sound Does Not Work on iPad

I wish I had read reviews prior to purchasing. The app does not have any sound when played from an iPad. I haven't attempted to use the app on any other advice, but other users claim the sound only works on iPhones.
App developers recommend turning off the mute button, but my daughters iPad does not have one. I am thoroughly disappointed. I will not be using any other apps from this particular developer.

No sound

Worthless. I am going to contact iTunes to get a refund. And, yes, I read your misinformation about sound problems - it's on you and the developers, not the users.
