Footsteps2Brilliance School

This program does not teach Spanish phonics. The decodable books seem to have been thrown together as an afterthought. Instructional material for Spanish letter A, for example, has pictures and content about apples and ants - neither of which begin with A in Spanish. The content here confuses my son and does not support the work he is doing in Kindergarten - learning to decode and encode Spanish syllables into words. To charge bilingual schools for this garbage is disrespectful to Spanish-speaking students, families, and educators.

This app is VERY discouraging to my 3 year old son. With the simple task of just tracing letters, it’s extremely sensitive and keeps making him start over with tracing because it’s assuming he’s tracing the letter incorrectly. He is getting frustrated because he’s trying his best and it just keeps making him start over and over. I don’t know if it is a glitch or what but we will no longer be using it. Stick to a white board and dry erase marker’s since they don’t actually write with fingers in school.

I use this product with my niece. She loves the stories, songs and games and is having fun while learning! As an added bonus, she is learning some Spanish because she can easily switch between languages while learning/playing. I highly recommend this app!
