- Spelling practice and phonemic segmentation skills – breaking words into phonemes and mapping the phonemes with the appropriate alphabet letter

Features Teaching Methods
State of the art teaching methods based on cutting edge research.
- Lots of repetition, because, “Practice makes perfect, repetition is necessary for long-term memory” Eric Kandel, Nobel laureate memory and learning researcher.
- An appropriately paced delivery – because kids process new information at a particular pace.
- A multi-sensory instructional approach: sight, sound and touch, because this is the best way to teach reading skills.
- Loads of fun to reinforce skills that may not be intrinsically motivating. Immediate feedback and positive reinforcement.
- Multiple delivery options: The app is appropriate for whole class teacher-led instruction, group work or individual instruction.
- The George Canine app has been tested on kids with excellent results. They found George and his animated friends highly engaging, they had fun learning to read and they permanently memorized the skills.

This app is great for young kids just learning their letters. The dog is cute, too! One of the kids I babysit really likes this app. I think it's an effective way to teach the alphabet!

This is an amazing app for teaching my child how to read and write through sound and sight. The voice recognition is a unique feature, and the games make learning fun! Finally an educational app that my child WANTS to play. Will definitely look out for future lessons.

This app is definitely for kids between ages 4-6 and even older. Not sure why Apple rated it for under 5's. It's excellent for classroom teachers with 6 year olds plus who are learning to read.
