Product Review of PocketPhonics Stories
Spread the love This is an interactive phonics app that teaches kids to read. It provides individual supervision in a classroom setting.
After setting up the classroom, educators can choose a handwriting style, case, and six letters that kids can learn per lesson. After learning the letters, learners move on to reading with them, along with a few sight words. At the end of the book, learners take tests on word and picture recognition and progress after completion.

As a speech pathologist, I’ve known many children who had difficulty learning to read because they lacked phonemic awareness- the concept that words are made up of individual sounds.” “This app is amazing for my kids, This app is amazing for my kids they are learning so well. It’s sticks and they remember it.
Most of all the stories aren’t dry and boring my kids love the stories that are included.” “Great app. My dyslexic first grader is really frustrated in school but loves this app.
He actually likes learning from it. Thank you!” “Love It!!
My 4 year old & my 7 year old (with special needs) just started using this App & we love it!!!. My 4 yea old is recognizing letters & now due to the app sounding out lots of new words. My 7 year old who was not reading has progressed through words & 5 stories, this is a huge accomplishment for him and has really built up his confidence during our reading time.”
“I teach kindergarten students to read. This app is the best one for teaching them letter sounds, letter writing, building words with letter sounds, and blending sounds. I believe this approach produces the best results!”
What Users Dislike About the App “The only thing I haven’t seen yet are words like “take like made Pete note” silent “e” words maybe My kids haven’t gotten there but I don’t see it.” “There is a bug in the story section that causes the ap to shut down.
The update that has been provided, I am guessing to fix this, doesn’t load.
Very disappointing because up until recently, this seemed like a great tool to teach reading.”
