Italian First Words Lite4.6.1 - App Store

Italian First Words Lite teaches children the sounds of letters through synthetic phonics and connects those sounds to Italian words. Three hint settings (color, letter, or both together) adjust the challenge alongside six difficulty settings that grow with your child. The thumbnail navigation lets children browse and explore all the words freely, with no timers and no pressure.

Featured by Apple on What's Hot for the iPhone on the US and Italian App Stores, in two categories: Games/Educational and Games/Kids.
________________________________
SYNTHETIC PHONICS

ReadnLearn apps use the systematic phonics method recommended by leading educational authorities. Children start with the sounds of letters (phonemes), then learn how those sounds build into syllables and words. This approach is recommended for all children and has proven especially effective for children with autism, speech delay and dyslexia.
________________________________
THE MISSION

ReadnLearn exists because of Marios. Aris's son has autism and speech delay. Every design decision in every ReadnLearn app comes from watching Marios learn. What works for him works for every child who learns differently.
