OVERVIEW OF THE APP:
Title: Word Magic
Publisher/Developer: Anusen, Inc.
Date of Publication: May 19, 2011 updated
Reference and analysis tool: Spelling, phonics, reading
Recommended Ages: Early Childhood (preschool-kindergarten) Ages 3-6
REVIEW:
Great app for beginning phonics, spelling and reading words. It is a simple app that gives children a 3-6 letter word with a missing letter, the word is spoken and children choose the missing letter. If correct, rewards are given verbally and visually.Scores are kept on screen and once 5 correct answers are achieved a sticker is earned. If incorrect, children are given a verbal prompt to try again. Settings can be adjusted to control, levels, word length, alphabet type, sounds, rewards, challenge time, missing letter, phnetics and random starts. I've used it with kindergarten classes and they love it.
OPERATIONAL
*Navigation is easy, contents and menus are clear.
*On-screen help is not available but is not really needed.
*It has two different levels and multiple settings for various learners needs and abilities.
*Verbal prompts are given to correct errors. Incorrect letters are marked off, allowing children to continue to select
correct answers. Children must select correct answer before moving on.
*There are audio options available in settings
* It does not keep a history of user work, but if SmartTots-enabled apps are loaded, prgress reports and other
suggested apps are available.
* The settings allow for flexiblity in addressing special needs and levels. Missing letters can be set from the start, end
or within words as well as random. Word length and timing can also be selected.
*Pictures and sounds are appealing to young children.
* Although there are no resources or support materials included it can easily be used to supplement, reinforce and
teach reading and language arts curriculum.
PEDAGOGY
* The app accommodates diverse learners and is developmentally and age appropriate.
*It provides excellent opportunities to increase student phonetic, spelling and reading skills.
*Students are engaged and interactive.
*Feedback and assessment are immediate and clearly visible on screen.
