For each word, your kids can touch the empty rectangles where letters must be dragged to complete the word, and hear the sound the corresponding letter produces. • Secondly, the app helps kids memorize the phonics associated with letters by providing a phonics-enabled alphabet where kids can touch each letter and hear the associated phonic. ____ Montessori Crosswords allows you to select words according to their difficulty or sound categories: • Level 1 displays a three-letter word with no difficulty for beginning readers (CVC words) • Levels 2, 3 & 4 offer more complex words that contain more complex phonics (as long vowels sounds or blends), and also offer the option to automatically create multi-word crosswords in tens of thousands of different combinations • Alternately, you can choose from 44 sound categories (i.e. choose words that contain a specific sound (for example, long a, “k” sound, and so on). • You can also create custom word lists based on letter clusters __ To create an enjoyable experience, the app also includes sounds, animations, and interactive visual effects that are displayed after a word is completed. __ More Features: • Digraph Support : "oo", "th",... are displayed as a whole unit • R-Controlled vowels support ("car","horn",...) • Capital, lower-case, or cursive letter display • Setting to show only letters are in the word to spell (great for beginners!) • Setting to force spelling from left to right __ Users & Reports • Create any number of users • Check and export activity for each user in the Reports section __ Common Core State Standard (CCSS): CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.1b Recognize that spoken words are represented in written language by specific sequences of letters. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.2 & CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.1.2 Demonstrate understanding of spoken words, syllables, and sounds (phonemes). CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.3 Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words. __ More reviews: • Wired's GeekDad - "5 Favorite Apps for Elementary School iPads" - "An excellent tool for learning spelling and early literacy (...)

I like that the app is appropriate for the developmental levels of my students and all three of my kids" -Cindy - "This is one of my favorite educational apps.

Great learning tool for early readers. You can tailor it to meet the needs of your child, and change it as they master each section. Love it and the kids do too! -- k50047, 2024-04-04 ### ***** "The Right Way To Learn How To Spell" I love this app! I love it because it teaches my kids how to spell and it gives them a reward after they complete a word. I also like how it has different levels and if something is to hard or to easy they can move down or up a level.Another reason I love this app is because it has a level that allows my kids to focus on one spelling pattern such as ow and magic e.That is why I think that this app is the right way to learn how to spell. -- The Learners, 2024-03-14 ### ***** "Bh" Hvbb -- Dbhdhddj, 2024-01-03 ### ***** "Very interesting" My grandchildren love this app! It’s visually pleasing while learning. Look forward to seeing other programs. -- miraita, 2023-09-27 ### **--- "Well built, overstimulating" The app is lovely, well built and has a good depth of content. The “interactions” after the word completion is completely unnecessary and over stimulating. I’ve tried the setting to skip completely and not having any luck turning if off. If I could turn this off, I’d continue using this app. But with that on i don’t want my little people on this app. -- gammantria1, 2023-01-12 ### ***** "Montessori Crosswords for Kids" My 5-year old granddaughter loves it. -- 54peace, 2022-09-27 ### ****- "Pronunciation of L perhaps incorrect" One thing that frustrates me about the app is it’s pronunciation of the phoneme /l/. I wonder if that could be changed in an update? -- emmajames1987, 2022-08-23 ### ***** "Great Speech Therapy Tool Too!!" Awesome app, my favorite therapy app for developing both phonemic awareness and the essential foundation of phonological awareness (how/where sounds occur in words, the fundamental skill for reading). Another plus is that the voice and effects are not 'babyish', so my older students love this too. Best app I know of for spelling and phonological awareness development, for both regular and special ed students, and for home use as well. I recommend this to everyone! -- Artanimal, 2022-03-30 ### ***** "Literally the best app ever for early readers." I have used this app continually for 12 years with early readers. -- momoffourandslp, 2021-12-09 ### ***** "Best app" I always tell families if they only buy one app, this is the one to buy. -- RalphLegrand, 2021-09-25 [View all Montessori Crosswords for Kids reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Montessori Crosswords for Kids Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | Singapore | Education | #55 | | Top Paid | New Zealand | Education | #76 | | Top Paid | Hong Kong SAR China | Education | #95 | | Top Paid | Pakistan | Education | #103 | | Top Paid | Ireland | Education | #111 | | Top Paid | Nigeria | Education | #116 | | Top Paid | Malaysia | Education | #123 | | Top Paid | Egypt | Education | #127 | | Top Paid | Philippines | Education | #141 | | Top Paid | India | Education | #144 | | Top Paid | Lebanon | Education | #148 | | Top Paid | Indonesia | Education | #157 | | Top Paid | South Africa | Education | #159 | | Top Paid | United Arab Emirates | Education | #164 | | Top Paid | Dominican Republic | Education | #165 | | Top Paid | Australia | Education | #180 | | Top Paid | Canada | Education | #191 | | Top Paid | Thailand | Education | #199 | | Top Paid | Ecuador | Education | #214 | | Top Paid | Kuwait | Education | #219 | | Top Paid | France | Education | #226 | ## Montessori Crosswords for Kids Discovered Keywords -
