Marbotic Lil Reader

What it is and what you do with it: a set of activities helping kids develop early reading/spelling skills.

App works with the Marbotic Smart Letters set.

Activities include: letter sounds recognition, letters recognition, letter matching (beginning/middle/ending, whole words), vowel training, missing vowels and more.

What we liked: excellent concept: combines the attractiveness of an iPad app with sensory objects (wooden letters). Could support Montessori letters/phonics workflow. Works very well - we haven't experienced any problems with the wooden letters. Very easy to use. No ads or other distracting features.

What we didn't like: we wish there were some reporting/progress tracking features. Some sort of rewards could make the learning process more attractive.
