Montessori Movable Alphabet for Android

11 things about Montessori Movable Alphabet

1. Once the children begin the process of composing three letter words (consonant-vowel-consonant) with the Movable Alphabet they are encouraged to move on to building four and five letter words.

2. Designed for both parents and schools, this app beautifully provides children a way to "write" words in order to express themselves prior to mastering the use of pencil and paper! This is a preschool & kindergarten language activity that will help children learn the correct spelling of simple words.

3. Montessori prepared the Movable Alphabet for children to “write” words, long before mastering the physical skill of writing.

4. After learning to identify and blend the sounds of the letters of the alphabet children are often ready to build words on their own.

5. In our experience in the classroom, it is best to follow the CVC words with four letter, CVCC words, which often seems to be easier for the blending of sounds leading up to the actual reading of words.

6. Children can phonetically sound out words, one letter at a time to build words.

7. The app includes over 40 images of simple words, along with audio pronunciations and instructions, for children to practice with.

8. So, we designed a very clean looking app that has a "manual" feel to it in order to closely resemble the physical Movable Alphabet material.

9. We wanted to do that, but in a way that still maintains the manual feel of the Movable Alphabet, without letters snapping into perfect positions.

10. After observing what others were doing with the Movable Alphabet, such as the Montessori Crosswords app, we wanted to create something that was more academic in nature vs.

11. We're extremely excited about the new 3.0 update that came out in September! Many teachers and parents requested that we provide feedback to the child whether or not a word is spelled correctly.
