Biggest issue is that it needs to let kids keep trying to write instead of switching it to auto-line mode when they don't get it after two tries. Kids need 5 or 6 tries. They won't learn as well in auto line mode. This also needs to have all the alphabet letters to practice writing, and possibly words they could practice writing, as well. lesson labels would be nice. My kids respond really well to the "put the word back together" game, but they don't have that often. I'd recommend it so far.
Reviews for Learn to Read – Duolingo ABC
My daughter is 3 1/2 years old and has been using this app for about a year (it's less of a headache to have her play "her games" in the car rather than listening to kids' songs/nursery rhymes all the way to our destination). Today she casually walked up to me with a book and STARTED READING IT TO ME! She was pointing to the words that she was reading and sounding out some of the bigger words! The kicker is, we just bought said book last night and haven't read any of it to her yet! Get this Ap
Amazing app for young kids! My daughter began kindergarten this year. We've been doing a few lessons every night and I'm shocked by how much she's picked up! Almost three months in class and she wasn't sounding out words yet, but 4 days with this app and she's picking up words from books she's sounded out herself. I also love that it's ad-free and simple to use.
Great app like duolingo, just one problem, which is why I rated it 4 stars. Duolingo ABC is mainly targeted towards younger children, I thought it would help with my English in high school, but it mainly teaches you basic English. I guess it helps to stop making small mistakes, but if an upgraded version of this app came out with certain stages for certain year groups, it would help me much more with my grammar and English if it fits my year group. Otherwise, amazing app! ★
It's amazing 😍😍🤩 my little brother has very week in study but now he know to much things and I am also learning english my english is improving thankyou Duolingo thank you very much 😀😀😀
My 4yo granddaughter LOVES this app. She always asks to "play the green owl game". I noticed a very quick improvement in her lowercase letter recognition (which is often ignored in learning, for some reason). The app doesn't have any negative reinforcement - all positive. It's very encouraging and allows exploration. The humor is perfect for her age, and she repeats the stories over and over. She loves the characters and likes to play pretend with them.
It's okay, but unfortunately there's no option to switch from US english to UK English, so at school, children would be considered to be misspelling words like colour. I think it would be great if there were options to switch to UK or Australian English. I enjoy that you can skip to higher levels without needing to complete the lower levels
My son, who has just turned 4, enjoys it for a little bit of reading each day. It's very good, I only have 2 criticisms. 1. The difficulty level progresses a little bit too slowly. It's good to start with basics but he gets bored when it remains easy for too long. 2. There is no option to make it British English, so it spells some of the words the American way, which would be deemed incorrect here.
App is great! It has a nice style and is simple, so kids can use it easily. No ads too! Though it would be very nice if you'd add some other languages. Also, one small thing that is a bit annoying, is that sometimes the voice gets a bit buggy. Like, whenever it teaches you a letter, the sound gets quieter in the middle of the sound, which isn't a major mistake, but it is a bit annoying, for me, at least. I'm a 13 year old trying this out btw, so idk how younger kids would like the app.
My child learns much faster than before . Before she was always watching phone but now she is on the app Duolingo only learning.
