I haven't looked at it much, but is LOE more of a game? We had the AAR phonogram app and it bored my daughter to death. I've seen the LOE one on the App Store which I'd by I mentioned it here, but have no experience with it

LOE has two. Doodling dragons and the standard phonograms app. Doodling dragons only goes over the sounds of the letters (A: ah, ay, aw) but it has fun pictures and a poem. We use the AAS one as a reference, not a learning tool. It is pretty boring. The other LOE one is like a quiz. Not exciting, but effective. All 3 of my older girls have effectively learned their phonograms with it. I make them do it for one "round" before they are allowed to play anything else. They don't love it, but they don't hate it. Today, dd7 learned about "ay" and "ai" in AAS. without any prompting from me, when I pulled them down she said, "ay that may be used at the end of English words and AI that may NOT be used at the end of English words."

Thanks. My daughter knows her letter sounds and is beginning to read. We are currently on digraphs in Ordinary Parents Guide and abou to get to long vowels and such. I might look into it.

Do you know what the difference between them is?

 

I don't have the LOE app, as it isn't available for Android. But looking at my copy RLTL compared to the LOE website, I found these (there may be a few more):

 

u: LOE has two long sounds for u (four total sounds), RLTL only has one (three total).

x: LOE has two sounds for x: /ks/ and /gz/. RLTL only has one: /ks/.

ou: RLTL has a 5th sound for ou (the sound it makes in could, should, and would) that LOE doesn't have.

The words associated with the sounds of /er/ are different.

mb: RLTL has this as a regular phonogram, I think LOE has it as an advanced phonogram

Okay. That's enough to really bother him. Thanks.
