Best phonics apps for Android devices: fun reading tools for preschoolers

19 Jun, 2014

Boost your preschooler's reading skills through these fun and highly-rated phonics apps for Android devices.

Best Phonics Android Apps for Preschoolers

Best Phonics Android Apps for Preschoolers

Reading is one of the most important skills every child should learn. Teaching your child to read goes beyond teaching the alphabet, though.

He must also learn phonics, which is the connection between letter symbols and their sounds, and achieve phonetic awareness, or the understanding that words are made up of small units of sound. Phonics instruction is vital because it helps your child connect their awareness of sounds with the printed letters.

Nowadays, technology has made it easier to teach phonics to children. Instead of printing phonics worksheets, you can now make use of your computer, a tablet or even your phone. Also, phonics apps have made it even more convenient because they allow your child to learn on their own.
