![]() This will be the first year that B has to take a state issued end of grade test, and I know that I won't have to worry about him because his reading and comprehension skills are blossoming and getting better and better with each passing day. ![]() The stories and fill in the blank practice are wonderful, too. His vocabulary is expanding every day, he's learning how to spell more difficult words, which is helping him during his spelling tests at school, and he's improving his writing. The extra practice is wonderful for him and is just furthering his love for reading. When we tell him that it's time for reading, he asks to have some time with the app after we spend time reading physical books. He genuinely wants to sit down with this app and use it on his own. I was pleasantly surprised by how well he responded to Andy Helps You Read. ![]() I wondered if the app would be challenging enough for B since he's already such a great reader. Since he needs extra practice with writing, this is a fantastic tool for him! It's much more fun than having to sit at the table and practice on a writing tablet.Īt the end of the story, your child will be asked to fill in the blank with words from the word bank. He wanted to go back and do them over and over again. B actually spent close to an hour just enjoying the flashing practice in the first two rounds. In 2010, Bob Books Sight Words: Kindergarten and Bob Books Sight Words: First Grade won the Best Book Award and received a 4 1/2 star rating (out of 5 stars). The round takes your child through a series of several flashes, and then at the end, gives you a side by side view of what flashed on the screen, and what your child wrote.drew, for comparison. Then, your child uses their finger or stylus to write or draw what they saw. A letter, number or symbol flashes on the screen and then disappears. ![]() The flashing practice section of each lesson is a lot of fun. The flashing part of the lessons were B's favorites! Just tap on the word and the app will say the word out loud. If you have a beginning reader, you can use it in reverse order. The words were listed in two columns, and the idea is for your child to read the word (if they're able to) and then click on the word so the app reads it back to you. We started with lesson #1, and worked our way through all three sections, starting with word practice. First, select your lesson, and then choose whether you want to work on Word Practice, Flashing Practice, or Reading Practice. ![]()
