Niki Words

It's not good for letter sounds, reading, or spelling, because it doesn't sound out words correctly. There are far better apps for phonics.

This app is unfortunately similar to other phonics apps in the fact that it confuses small children making reading harder to understand. The first word I tried was 'cone' which the app sounded out for the child-- hard c, short o, n, and short e. Then indicated that those sounds made the word cone. The second word was two... Same story t, w, short o. The idea is wonderful for words that follow the correct pattern, if the app was updated to sound out CVC words or CVCE words etc. it would be wonderful!
