Dora ABCs Vol 1: Letters and Letter Sounds ($3.99 Amazon), by Nickelodeon, is this week's Free Friday App from Barnes & Noble.
App Description
This application is recommended for ages 0-4.
The first in the Nickelodeon Literacy Suite, Dora ABCs Vol 1: Letters & Letter Sounds focuses on your childs emerging literacy skills. In this application, your child will learn the Alphabetic Principle: to recognize letters, write letters and associate letters with sounds. Once children are able to hear and discern sounds (phonemes), they are ready to associate those sounds with letters.
Whats that Dora and Boots see up in the sky? It's Tico in his Nutty Plane, writing letters and drawing pictures. But he needs you to help him with his ABCs! Pick up all the nuts he needs to power the plane by tracing the letters.
As your child traces the letters, Dora reinforces the sound of each of the letters. Supportive directions and sound effects help guide your child in learning their letters. A new game, Letter and Picture Match, reinforces initial letter sounds by grouping pictures that start with the same sound. A letter select screen allows your child to play any game on any letter they choose.
