Jolly Phonics Lessons

Improvements: 1) in the reading game, you should be able to tap on the picture to hear the word. What 5 year old knows what a 'yam' is? for example. 2) the "can you hear?" game is the simplest, but crucial phonological awareness game I've seen, but it would be great if we could select mid and end sounds. Finally, 3) there's a bug where sound is lost and the only way is to quit the app and reload. 4) it doesn't shut up when you switch away to another app

I've been a fan of this app for long, and I really like it. It's been of great help to my kids. I especially like the new features in this revised edition, especially the tracing feature. However, the sound quality has become bad, particularly when sounding the tricky words. I wish you would improve that so kids can hear what the words say. I'm disappointed with this edition. I guess you want us to buy the order version. I regret uninstalling it to install the this one thinking it's better.

As a Kindergarten teacher, I have used the Jolly Phonics program for several years to teach young children how to read. They love the songs, stories, and motions that go with each sound. I am so glad to find it available in an app. The testing page is a great resource. I like that it is not revealing to the children whether they got it right or wrong, but provides a list of their correct and incorrect responses. Thank you!
