Endless Alphabet Apk

5 ★All of the "Endless..." games we've tried (Alphabet, Reader, Wordplay, and Numbers) try to appeal to both younger learners and older - honestly, not always successfully. However, Endless Alphabet is the best of the bunch for young learners, and in my opinion, well worth the money. The free trial version is entirely representative of the full game. This is how it works: a word appears on the screen (say Gargantuan). Each letter has a different appearance/color. When you pick it up, makes the sound that matches its position in that particular word (hard "G-G-G"s for gargantuan, but a soft "G" in some other words). The monsters run by and "knock off" and scramble the letters from the word. The child needs to place the letters back into their spots (in any order). When the letter is placed correctly, it makes its name sound ("Gee!"). Once the word is filled in, there's a cartoon illustrating the word, and the narrator speaks the definition. What this app does well for young learners - capital letter recognition matching, learning names of letters, teaching of basic consonant sounds - it does VERY VERY well. The animations of each letter, and the cute monster cartoons for the vocabulary words (more for older learners) keep the younger ones engaged. The adult that occasionally plays along may find it somewhat enjoyable too. :-) Our 3.5 was allowed to play it 2 times a week for 10-40 minutes each, and had a decent grasp of all of the above after 1 month, and a good grasp after 2 months. Now he calls out the letters (by their sounds) he sees in street signs and around the house. He loves the cartoons, but is not really picking up the vocabulary. That's all right - still worth it. The weaknesses of the game come from 1. the utter screwiness of the English language and 2. from trying to appeal to different ages. Note that Endless Wordplay and Reader do address some of these - but again, those apps also suffer from trying to appeal to different age groups, with their own issues. Perhaps as a separate app, "Alphabet - The Next Generation", focusing on both letters and phonics, and aimed just at younger learners, might be considered? (Similar to how there is Dragonbox Algebra 5+ and Dragonbox Algebra 12+?) 1. The letters can be dropped into the word in any order. It would help younger learners if the letters could only be dropped in left to right (similarly to a done in either Reader or Wordplay - can't remember which.) 2. Because words are long, they can have multiples of the same vowel, with different sounds. So in "BETWEEN", 2 letters make an "ee" sound and 1 makes a "eh" sound - but they can be dropped in anywhere. That's an issue with the language more than this game, and the only way I can see to fix it is to "stick" EE together so it would be dropped into the word as a unit. That would not work well here, as it would make the step of speaking the letter name confusing. Hence the suggestion for "Alphabet - the next generation" ;-) 3. Building on the above, combined sounds ("th/ph/ch/sh") could be taught if 2 letters could stick together. Same for combined vowels. Limitations aside, this is a well-thought through game, and we've paid for it twice (on both android and kindle). Recommend.

4 ★I love this app and so does my 2 year old who has been learning new words and letters. i hate that it doesnt have family sharing when you purchase the full app. I bought it on my tablet but cant get it on my phone,Id have to pay again. Second issue I have is I feel like a couple of the letter sounds are off. I wish they where a little better bi5 otherwise a great app.

5 ★Amazing. My son has been struggling with recognizing and identifying letters for a while. I hate to use apps as a teaching replacement, but this was amazing. The first couple words he struggled with, but each word he got way better. I also like the words used, because they're not necessarily the typical "a is for apple" things. One thing that I think would help this be worth the $8.99 is if the definition always played. For $8.99 it should have another activity too.

5 ★Good game its great for learning mostly for maybe 3 to 5 im 8 and i rememberd this game and downloaded it its free but you have to pay to complete the game thank you for me mom for actually pay it anyway im 8 and i lerned a word i dont know this game deserves 4 and a half star but just for my mom its a five

4 ★We love this app! My ONLY issue is, there seems to be something going on with the sound. At least half of the times we open the app, the sound doesn't work, if it does work, it cuts out while my daughter is playing. This is fixed by restarting the tablet, but is definitely not something we should have to do after paying $11 or so for the app, especially when the sound is half the reason we love it so much.

5 ★i love this app so much i have bought it twice. once for my windows tablet and again for my android device. I have had it on windows for over a year, but still havent gotten the update for level 3 yet. My Android device however, has all the updates and my kids love when i hook up the tablet to the tv, so i can make the screen bigger.

1 ★Bought the app and it did not work right off the bat! I enabled storage permissions, tried reinstalling, etc-nothing helped. Once the letters of the word are put back in place it just goes to a blank screen instead of playing the animation associated with that word. My 4 year old is extremely disappointed and so am I for wasting money on an app that doesn't work!

5 ★My autistic 3 year old loves this app! What a wonderful learning tool. Got to give it up to the developers, you can tell that they geared it with the right amount of work to reward ratio stimulus. Complete the word - get the little video animation. My kid even skips to the next word immediately after the video ends haha. Only criticism is make the "Home" button require a long hold or double tap to prevent unintentional touching.

4 ★My 4 yo autistic son who is non verbal loves this app. It allows him to drag and drop the letters and goes into a cute cartoon explaining the meaning of the word. My only complaint is that the words are way too advanced for him. I need him to learn words like happy and sad, or up and down. Instead it gives us words like portrait and demolish and instead of smelly, its odor. Basic words would be nice, or even the option for an expansion or add on that could include them.

5 ★I absolutely LOVE this app! I've downloaded the Learning Academy for my iPad, and the Endless Alphabet app for both my iPad and Android. It is helping my 3-year-old with Autism learn to read. He echoes the sound that the letters make and then says, "I'm a "insert letter matching the sound he's making." He also points out letters on signs and food boxes. Definitely worth it!

5 ★I discovered Originator Kids on YouTube for my child two years ago, and it is because of them that he is an advanced reader now, in kindergarten. I finally installed one of the apps and he is having a lot of fun doing everything himself. This is especially nice because he knows all the characters already after a long time of just watching the app being played on YouTube. I had a downloading issue, but it was solved right away. Everyone was exceptionally nice and helpful.

5 ★Hands down- this is the best kids app we've ever had. We have used it for years. Every time we get a new phone or tablet, we download this app. My 4 yr old learns her letters an when my 9 yr old plays with her, she learns the meaning of words that she didn't know before. It couldn't be more perfect! (And I'm super picky.)
