Tap on the speaker to record audio. The recording feature allows you to record audio with the name of the picture, in your own language / accent, with your own pronunciation. Personalising your childs learning.

The App has two modes - Read Only and Edit.

App will be supported on both Retina and Non-Retina display devices.

Supporting all versions of iOS4.3 and above (including - iOS 5 and iOS 6.0). Basic app functionality will work on 7.0.

Information:

Our illustrations mainly begin with short sounds. In early learning, it helps initially to use either the short sounds only (a for apple) or the long sounds only (a for ape), to avoid confusion. With repetition and progression, the child will eventually associate the pictures with the letters and will understand that most letters have more than one sound.

As your child progresses, teach them to say the name of the letter and then the sounds illustrated. Then the actual names of each letter of the alphabet will be learned.

Learning in these early stages should be fun. Encourage your child, do not force them. If you can get their attention for more than a couple of minutes look at it as a bonus.

I welcome feedback of any kind. This is my first and probably only App that I will ever make, so any ideas to improve it would be greatly appreciated. After all I am really just a Mum !
