Review: Picture ABC
Excellent spelling and recognition app in 4 languages for reading aged children and upwards.
Features of Picture ABC:
- 9 different categories with 16 words to spell in each
- 3 levels of difficulty plus many setting change possibilities to match the skill level of your child
- Colourful pictures to enhance and ground learning
- Ability to make your own categories for personal spelling including friends and family member names etc
- Easy to use app when your child learns to spell common words in a fully interactive, colourful and engaging way
This is an excellent app for learning to spell with your child.
Set the difficulty level to include many additional letters to choose
from or none.
Choose from the common
categories of vegetables, vehicles, buildings, food, fruit, animals,
zoo, traffic, nature and colour. 16 pictures are displayed inside each category, choose the one you wish to spell. Your child must
choose the correct letters from the selection and place them in the
correct order.
When you child spells the word correctly an
'owl' appears, collect all 16 owls to win the round. There is a
motivational half way point to keep your child focused. There are no
repercussion of getting it wrong so your child is learning in a
supportive way.
The option of different
languages makes this a great app for learning common words in another
language for slightly older children: English, French German and
Spanish.
What else I love about this app is the ability to personalise it. Using your iPad camera make categories of your own. You can do this with your child as an all round learning experience or for your child. Minimal reading - child must be learning to spell.
