About Movable Alphabet - Cursive
Mobile Montessori is proud to present the Movable Alphabet!
After learning to identify and blend the sounds of the letters of the alphabet children are often ready to build words on their own. However, the ability to write them down with paper and pencil may require much more time and practice to acquire. Therefore, Dr. Montessori prepared the Movable Alphabet for children to “write” words, long before mastering the physical skill of writing.
Children can phonetically sound out words, one letter at a time to build words. The app includes over 40 images of simple words, along with audio pronunciations and instructions, for children to practice with. Additional word sets are available via InApp Purchase!
One unique feature in this app, are the buttons in the box above each letter. Children can touch the buttons to hear the sound of the letters, giving them the ability to "search" for the sound they are thinking of to build their word!

About the Word Sets:
Once the children begin the process of composing three letter words (consonant-vowel-consonant) with the Movable Alphabet they are encouraged to move on to building four and five letter words. In our experience in the classroom, it is best to follow the CVC words with four letter, CVCC words, which often seems to be easier for the blending of sounds leading up to the actual reading of words. Mastering word building requires lots of practice and repetition. Following this, we introduce four letter, CCVC words and then five letter, CCVCC words. As the children master these skills they often explore the process all on their own and have fun expressing their own ideas using the Movable Alphabet!
Word Sets 1 & 2: CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant), three letter words (bat, fin, jug, etc.)
Word Set 3: CVCC (consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant), four letter words (fast, bulb, hand, etc.)
Word Set 4: CVCC (consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant), four letter words ending with “ck” or “nk” (sack, rink, tack, etc.)
Word Set 5: CCVC (consonant-consonant-vowel-consonant), four letter words (clap, flex, spot, etc.)
Word Set 6: CCVCC (consonant-consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant), five letter words (drink, twist, slept, etc.)
Dr. Montessori observed in her work with children that after working with the Movable Alphabet children experienced an “explosion in to reading!” Our goal is to bring a sampling of this excitement to a large audience via the Movable Alphabet on the iPad!

Many of you asked for the app to provide feedback to the child whether or not a word is spelled correctly. We are happy to bring this new feature to the app! When the audio is played for each picture the child will be able to see an animation that shows them how many letters it takes to build the word, and the sound of each letter. We've added the ability to hear the sound of each letter every time you touch it! Once the correct letters are placed in the right positions to build the word, a green box appears around the word and you hear the audio pronunciation one more time.
The neat part is that we've kept the manual feel of the physical Movable Alphabet! The letters never "lock" into position, so they can always be moved and adjusted. Getting the words to "look right" by being properly aligned and spaced is up to the child! If a letter is moved out of position, the green box disappears and will reappear once the word is constructed correctly again.
We've improved some of the audio for more accurate letter sounds!
And, we've made the app UNIVERSAL! Which means, you buy the app once, and you can use it on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch!
We hope you enjoy this huge update to the Movable Alphabet and we appreciate your support! Please check out our constantly growing library of educational apps for schools and home use: http://www.mobilemontessori.org
We truly appreciate your support!
