Talking Movable Alphabet Activity
The talking movable alphabet has been recognized by many teachers as a wonderful tool to teach kids word building and how to learn to read

• Pronounce any word, number or sentence built using the Movable Alphabet
• Natural Sounding French Voice
• Letter sound (phonics) or name when a letter is touched in the alphabet
• Alphabetic, Azerty or Qwerty Keyboard
• 4 keyboards available: letters, numbers and digraphs (like “au” or "ch")
• Uppercase or lowercase letters
• Voice Transformer (speed and tone) for added fun
• Customized word pronunciation, if necessary
• Keyboard emulation option (dragging letters is optional)

3 Fun Spelling Activities
3 spelling activities of increasing difficulty are provided to adapt the activity to the child’s spelling level. You can use the built-in word lists, or create your own.

1 - "Word Practice" says and displays the word to spell, and asks the child to spell it using the talking movable alphabet allowing the child to learn the spelling easily
2 - "Scrambled Letters" says the word and displays the letters needed to build the word or sentence, and asks the child to reorder the letters.
3 - “Spelling Quizzes” is a standard spelling test. The app won’t move onto the next word until the child has correctly spelled the word, helping them to remember its correct spelling.

• 215 built-in word lists of 10 words: Words for beginners, 1,000 most frequently used words, body parts and more
• Create custom Word Lists by entering your own words and sentences
• Import and export Word Lists you’ve created
• Hints are available should kids not know how to spell a word
• Colorful animations are displayed when a word is completed
• Once a quiz is completed, interactive animations are available as a reward

It's only so useful because, when you make your own lists, sometimes it pronounces the word wrong. One example word is, "pays" ("pay-ee"), which the app pronounces "pee". Edit: I found the word override option. Definitely a keeper app. Paid the lifetime option.

Hello, on some rare occasions, the text-to-speech engine may experience a glitch. In such cases, there is a feature called 'Exceptions' that allows you to change the pronunciation of a word. Please contact us at support@lescapadou.com so we can assist you with that. Thanks.

Great practice. We pair it with the company's printing app to learn the words and then quiz them on this one. The only downside is importing/exporting lists between the two is a pain (and you can only do it with lists you create not the provided ones).

This app is from the makers of writing wizard cursive and script, both phenomenal apps to teach and practice alphabet & words tracing with toddler. Those apps were my gold standard for judging effectiveness of the other learning apps I downloaded. This one follows in their footsteps with a great concept and ability to add words. Love the word practice board with the evolutive reading as child adds new letters. Would like more pronounced hoorays when child completes a word correctly.
