YOUR CHILD WILL LEARN:
• Basic foundations of language
• To read, write and understand letters from a-z
• Lowercase letter symbols and their sounds (phonics)
• Phonograms - writing and pronunciation
• Capital letters - letter names, writing and pronunciation
• Consonants and vowels
• Fine motor skills

Intro to Letters includes the following activities in a Universal app that will work on iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch:

——

• LETTER SOUNDS (Lowercase Letters)
The first activity places an emphasis on phonetics instead of letter sounds. Your child will learn the sounds of the letters through a series of guided, interactive exercises.

• PHONOGRAMS
Similar to the letter sounds, your child will work through the sounds of phonograms and unite them with their symbols.

• FLASHCARDS
Connect the sounds of the lowercase letters with their uppercase counterparts.

• LETTER NAMES (Capital Letters)
The objective of this activity is to acquire a knowledge of the names and symbols of the capital letters.

• SOUNDCARDS
A special recording section to help your child learn sounds, phonograms and names.

• PRACTICE MODE 
- This section allows kids to practice specific letters or phonograms. A new toggle feature allows the user to isolate their tracing paths.

• ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
Integrated Kids Library: Swiping the home screen will reveal all Montessorium apps on the user’s device. Tap an app icon to switch to a different activity.
 
Integrated Parent Portal: We’ve added several tools to help adults access information.  With “Journal”, adults can stay up to date with Montessorium news and read posts on education, design, and technology. With “Observations”, adults can use the built-in notebook to document notes about a child’s progress.
  
Intro to Letters is a universal app for use on the iPad, iPhone, iPhone5. The Recording Studio functionality will not work on the iPod Touch.
