The letters are introduced in 6small sets. After they complete a series of multisensory exercises,they are quizzed on their understanding before they can move on tothe next set of letters.How parents and tutors can use it:• Through individualized Progress Reports parents and tutors canfollow what children have practiced and learned for each letter ofthe alphabet.This app is appropriate to use with children who have dyslexiabecause, asMargaret Byrd Rawson, former President of the InternationalDyslexia Association (IDA), put so well:“Dyslexic students need a different approach to learning languagefrom that employed in most classrooms. They need to be taught,slowly and thoroughly, the basic elements of their language—thesounds and the letters which represent them—and how to put thesetogether and take them apart. They have to have lots of practice inhaving their writing hands, eyes, ears, and voices working togetherfor conscious organization and retention of their learning.”We love getting feedback from our users.
