This app provides the missing link between reading words and reading books-reading sentences.

This app gives emerging readers a step that will encourage skill building and confidence in reading.

Most reading programs go from reading words to reading books, which is a big gap. This app helps to bridge that gap giving emerging readers a gradual and fun step up from reading words. These short sentences are perfect to help children gain confidence in reading sentences.

This app has two modes. The first mode is sentence building where children can move the words into their correct sentence position. The second mode is the reading mode where children can read the words of the phrase or sentence and then check their work by touching the hidden picture.

This app uses mainly short 2 and 3 word sentences, which are punctuated correctly and always begin with a capital letter. This app also uses 2 and 3 word sentence fragments that are useful in the process of giving emerging readers practice in reading strings of words together. These are not complete sentences and therefore, do not begin with a capital letter nor do they have a punctuation mark at the end.

The picture is hidden to encourage word reading instead of "picture reading." Most young readers upon seeing the picture will guess its meaning and not even look at the words. The picture is hidden so that the child will read the words first and then only look at the picture to check their work.
