Introduction aux Lettres

It would be a 5 star review if the touch wasn’t quite so finicky!! I love the content of the apps, but I’m scared to download it for my students because I can see them getting easily frustrated.

I gave this app a 1 star because the letter sounds are not being said correctly. The sound for g is not /ga/ it’s /g/ you should not add an a on the end of the sounds. This app would be perfect otherwise and the other apps from this company are great! Bummed I can’t recommend this app to my students families.

I tried this app out to suggest to parents at home, but I got as far as the sounds of the letters and was sorely disappointed. The sounds of consonants should not have vowels attached; that makes it hard for children to move from writing to reading. It’s not “buh”, “cuh” and “duh” but just the one SOUND. Disappointed that I can’t recommend this…

Mandatory background app refresh - foolish. Preschool fingers have to be exact or app won’t let kid move on to next letter.

Well the circle was out of the q then weirdly the dot was going fast up the q and I’m like BTW how did that dot do that?!?! that’s weird

Drawing letters is pretty good, but has some minor issues it you don’t complete the line fully. Sounds such as ‘g’ add an ‘uh’ sound which is incorrect. Many people teach letters this way, but it makes it harder to teach correct spelling later.

Too many issues

There are no visable instructions here. Did I miss something? How does a child use this?

I was worried given two recent nasty reviews, but after trying this app out, I don't think they are warranted. For special needs, this is the perfect solution for some students who need minimal visual distractions. Clean, simple interface with options to practice tracing, or recording letter names/sounds. I like the option to jump to exactly the letter wanted. There is a page with links to this developer's apps, although it is protected by a parental gate, which is good. I would also like to see an option where I can shut off the "pencil" sound effect when tracing, while still hearing the other cues/voiceover. Some students with special needs may have trouble with this sound, and others will really enjoy the auditory feedback while tracing.

Tracing doesn't work. Bizarre "menu". Expensive junk. Some good ideas horribly executed by developers without a clue.
