Word Reading Magic 1.2

This app, Word Reading Magic, is designed to assist your child in developing proficiency in decoding (reading) CVC words. It concentrates on teaching the skill of reading single short-vowel words with three phonemes, specifically CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words like "cat," "leg," "pig," "box," and "sun." The ability to decode words is commonly referred to as "reading."

In order to decode, a child must be able to utilize their knowledge of letter-to-sound connections (known as the alphabetic principle) and combine these distinct sounds to form a complete word (blending). For instance, when presented with the letters 'c,' 'a,' and 't' on a page, the child must first sound out each letter individually before blending them together to form the word 'cat.' Words serve as the foundation of sentences, so if your child struggles with reading words, they will likely encounter difficulties with sentence comprehension. The capacity for fluent and effortless word reading can be developed through consistent practice.

This app is part of a comprehensive children's reading series that begins with simple words and gradually progresses to more complex phonics rules. It offers early reading games that are particularly effective for teaching fundamental reading skills.

By engaging in this word reading app, your child will gain practice in reading single CVC words, ultimately fostering confidence as a reader. Additionally, the app provides lesson tracking features to guide your child through its extensive assortment of words and games.
