ABC MAGIC PHONICS 2 Deluxe 2.6

This application focuses on aiding children in learning the sounds of the alphabet letters, which are crucial for developing reading skills. By familiarizing themselves with the sounds of the letters, children are equipped with the necessary foundation for reading, ultimately enhancing their reading capabilities. Version 4 introduces phonetic matching by pairing phonetic photo images with each letter, facilitating the process of learning the sound associated with each letter. This installment serves as a progression from the prior app, preparing children for subsequent apps within the series.

• Lowercase: Opting to initially teach children lowercase letters is highlighted as advantageous, as they constitute 95% of written text in books and periodicals, unlike capital letters which only represent 5%.
• Letter Sounds: Stress is placed on the significance of teaching children the sounds of the letters rather than solely focusing on their names—emphasizing that grasping these sounds forms the basis for reading.
• Rhythm: The application utilizes repetition and rhythm to aid children in memorizing the letter sounds effectively.
• Visual: The utilization of photographic images and colored letters is intended to enhance the learning process of the letter sounds.
• Auditory: With features such as letter sounds repeating upon touch and photo names being vocalized upon touch, children are encouraged to engage audibly with the material, contributing to an interactive learning experience.
• Focus: The absence of extraneous elements aims to enable children to concentrate on the primary skill being taught—associating a letter with its commonly heard sound through photographic cues.
