User Reviews for Montessori Crosswords for Kids

Great Speech Therapy Tool Too!!

Awesome app, my favorite therapy app for developing both phonemic awareness and the essential foundation of phonological awareness (how/where sounds occur in words, the fundamental skill for reading). Another plus is that the voice and effects are not 'babyish', so my older students love this too. Best app I know of for spelling and phonological awareness development, for both regular and special ed students, and for home use as well. I recommend this to everyone!

Great! As a teacher...

So glad to be able to use this with my little ones in class!They really connect to the pace of it. I know the pictures that go along with it are a consideration, but could I make my own word lists someday? Definitely loving it though. Cheers!

Well built, overstimulating

The app is lovely, well built and has a good depth of content. The “interactions” after the word completion is completely unnecessary and over stimulating. I’ve tried the setting to skip completely and not having any luck turning if off. If I could turn this off, I’d continue using this app. But with that on i don’t want my little people on this app.

Awesome!

Great learning tool for early readers. You can tailor it to meet the needs of your child, and change it as they master each section. Love it and the kids do too!

Cool app

Great for learning how to spell. I love the part at the end where the balls fly around. Really fun.I love this app. I discovered this at school, and now I play it at home.

Amazing!

Exceeded my expectations! Awesome graphics, easily used. I bought it for my 3 yr old grandson & have enjoyed playing with it myself...well worth the price...I don't usually write reviews, but these developers did an amazing job...buy the bundle that contains this app. All three items are perfect!

Great game

Great game with a focus on phonics. Having a little trouble getting the sound feature to work which suddenly stopped working.

Montessori crossword

The best app ever to teach you child or student phonics, reading and spelling. Make sure you use the different settings. This app has so many different ways to use. Love the setting that only the letters displayed in the word are visible for beginners, force spelling from left to right and even able to practice specific sounds. Set the interaction time after completion on about 15 sec and your child will continuing practicing. Deactivate showing solutions when your child needs to listen to the sounds so he won’t only visually copy the word.This app is more than worth the few dollars and I would like to give it more than 10 stars!!!

Just started

Trying the app for the first time and seems to work really well. Will update as we use it throughout the summer for practice during summer vacation.

Description

Based on the proven Montessori learning method, Montessori Crosswords helps kids develop their reading, writing, and spelling skills by building words from a set of 320 word-image-audio-phonics combinations using a phonics-enabled movable alphabet. • Editor's Choice Award ( 4.8 stars out of 5 ) "It is an extremely powerful early reading experience." - Children's Technology Review • "Best literacy app in my opinion" - Sue, National Board Certified Teacher • Featured by Apple in "Apps for Learning to Read" & "Apps for Learning to Write" • Commonsensemedia.org - “Montessori Crosswords is a great way for kids to develop literacy in an engaging way that feels like play." • More than 280,000 units sold! • Used in schools to learn phonics and spelling (65,000 units sold to schools) ____ Montessori Crosswords helps kids learn and understand two fundamental concepts: • First, the app helps kids understand that words are made up of sounds or phonemes (phonemic awareness). For each word, your kids can touch the empty rectangles where letters must be dragged to complete the word, and hear the sound the corresponding letter produces. • Secondly, the app helps kids memorize the phonics associated with letters by providing a phonics-enabled alphabet where kids can touch each letter and hear the associated phonic. ____ Montessori Crosswords allows you to select words according to their difficulty or sound categories: • Level 1 displays a three-letter word with no difficulty for beginning readers (CVC words) • Levels 2, 3 & 4 offer more complex words that contain more complex phonics (as long vowels sounds or blends), and also offer the option to automatically create multi-word crosswords in tens of thousands of different combinations • Alternately, you can choose from 44 sound categories (i.e. choose words that contain a specific sound (for example, long a, “k” sound, and so on). • You can also create custom word lists based on letter clusters __ To create an enjoyable experience, the app also includes sounds, animations, and interactive visual effects that are displayed after a word is completed. __ More Features: • Digraph Support : "oo", "th",...
