SPELLING MAGIC 2 can help your child’s future reading success.
SPELLING MAGIC 2 focuses on CVCC (consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant) words like hand, sent and gift & CCVC (consonant-consonant-vowel-consonant) words, such as spin, flap and stop. Another term for these types of words is “consonant blend words.” The words are categorized into themes.
Spelling Magic 2 teaches the sounds of the letters and how to build words. This app can help your child learn the sounds of the alphabet. This app focuses on the skill of learning to build CCVC/CVCC words with four phonemes using short vowel words. This app indirectly teaches the essential reading skill of segmenting as well. Two levels of challenge are available.
The first part of the app, “Word Building," uses only the components (letters) of the word for building the word.
The second part of this app, “Moveable Alphabet,” uses the entire alphabet available for building words.
Please note that the purpose of this app is to provide many opportunities for practicing building CCVC & CVCC words. On account of this, there are words in this app that are not in the everyday vocabulary of the young learners using this app. Use this as an opportunity to build vocabulary. The pictures when tapped will always say the sound of the word that the app is asking the child to build.
