My First Words:animals is a spelling/reading app aimed towards preschoolers. A darling picture of an animal is displayed and underneath the picture are spaces for the letters that spell the animal’s name. Underneath that are the letters needed. Your job is to drag the letters into the boxes where they belong. When you touch a letter you’ll hear it’s name. Then when you’ve correctly spelled the word the app says the letters again and then says the animal’s name. Then you’re off to the next one. There are twenty different animals to play with.
Before you begin spelling you can tap a bar with one star, two stars or three stars. I have no idea what these stars mean. At first I thought they indicated the level of difficulty for the words, but I got the same words no matter what stars I chose. Also, there are animal sounds to go along with the pictures and it would be nice to have the choice to turn these off.
I really liked the visuals with this app and the concept is good. I think that by separating the words into difficulty levels and toning down the animal noises My First Words:Animals could become even better.
*An update on the stars- They do relate to levels of difficulty. The words appear to be the same but what you can do with the letters varies in difficulty.
