AnointedHsMom Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Ok I'm using AAR with my son and need a phonogram app as I didn't buy the tiles because I had intended to use the Sound Literacy App. I stumbled onto the Logic of English Phonogram app and I'm curious if anyone might be able to shed some light on how different they are. Using AAR/AAS I need to be able to pull down and use specific phonogram tiles. I just don't know if the LOE app will allow me enough flexibility. Anyone use the LOE app? I'd love some feedback on exactly how it operates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandylubug Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 You could use scrabble tiles on the table if you have a scrabble game in the house. Even banana grams tiles would work well. App wise I have no recommendations, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edeemarie Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 We use the LOE app, although I am actually using WRTR as our curriculum. The phonograms are so similar that it has not been a problem. I haven't played around with it too much but I believe it is just quizzing on the phonograms (at least that is all we have used it for). So they will say a phonogram and you have to touch the one they say out of a group of 4. My ds4 is primarily the one using it and I think it is great for him. He is using the iPad so he thinks it is a game, but at the same time he is working on his phonograms without me being involved:) It keeps their score so you can monitor which ones they have mastered. As far as the other app, I am not sure because I don't have that one. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleIzumi Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I've only noticed the structured game on the LOE app, no tiles that move. We don't use tiles for AAS at all though, just the whiteboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyhappyjoyjoy Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Thank you for posting this. I'm hoping to get a good phonogram android app for kindle. Hopefully one will be available soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeaganS Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 We are doing OPGTR, but I plan on using a phonogram method for spelling someday and I think they are good to know, so I got the LOE app. My 4 and 2 year old really enjoy it and are learning a lot, so I certainly recommend it. I can't compare it to another, but I do know that it won't let you move the phonograms around and if that is what you are looking for, it won't work for you. It is pretty much a quizzing app that presents itself as a game and gives you stats on which ones your child is having trouble on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnointedHsMom Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Thanks every one. I didn't realize there were YouTube video's explaining how the Sound Literacy app works so I watched a several of those last night. I'll be purchasing the Sound Literacy app to use with our current AAR lessons and future AAS lessons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
