[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it set on a level that is too high for her?

I’d talk to the teacher to troubleshoot since it’s an excellent tool for literacy.

Yes so excellent

Pictures of:  
Snowflake.     Stool.    Net

App says: “Here is a flake, stool and net. Touch the one that starts with the /s/ sound.

Kid presses snowflake because duh it is a snowflake and they are half listening and gets it wrong and goes to remediation.

So excellent for literacy.[/quote]

and then child freaks the eff out b/c they are right and the program makes them do  about 6 stupid repetitive things. I opted out but my kid has dyslexia so I explained that an expert had to do it with my child b/c I can't teach phonics to a child with dyslexia. On the website it does say that kids with learning difficulties need a teacher to help them...and I"m not that. [/quote]

This child isn’t exactly right because snowflake starts with /sn/ which is a blended single sound. But I’m not otherwise sure of the utility if it produces so much frustration. [/quote]
