Provide the verbal modeling of the word that you are having the learner identify so that they are not only viewing the word, but also hearing the correct pronunciation of the word.

It would be beneficial to learners to see the direction in a written format throughout the grade one program.

In this section the name of the letter is provided, but the learner is only expected to repeat the letter and there is no phonemic learning that is taking place. For first grade, this does not seem to be developmentally appropriate for the level of learning that the student should be experiencing.

See and Match has the word "Vim" for the letter v. I would recommend using a word more familiar to a six year old.

Letter sound that is stated when the learner clicks on the first letter should be repeated throughout the activity as we as the name of the letter.

Instructions are unclear for the learner when the developer says to click on the letters that will make a word with the word family, but it is unclear of how the letters are being blended together.

Throughout the entire program the author should pronounce the words so that the learner is able to hear the words pronounced properly before they are prompted to follow any directives. Hearing the word will aid the learner in blending the letter sounds.

Spelling Bee - The word "meat" is said by the instructor, but I typed "meet" and got it wrong. If you use homophones, then the instructor needs to use the word in a sentence to let the learner know which word they are wanting spelled.

The second activity in Sentences states gem already obtained after first try.

After the second activity for Picture Match it states that the gem is already obtained.

Word Match states that the gem was already obtained when it was the first attempt, and there were no errors.

All the second activities in "Word Match, Flash Cards, Picture Match, and Sentences states that the gem has already been obtained when you complete the activity.

Shows gem already obtained after first attempt.

After the second activity for Picture Match it states that the gem is already obtained.

Flash Cards - The big words disappear too fast. If the learner is distracted, then they do not have a chance to see the word again.

2nd part of Picture Match - States Gem already obtained after 1st try.

Please choose another word instead of dumb to rhyme with. It can be confusing to the learner since it has the silent b at the end. See screenshot.

Flash Cards - Shows gem already obtained, even though it was the first attempt. See screenshot.

After the second activity in flash cards it states that gem has already been obtained.

Flash Cards - Gem already obtained after 1st attempt.

Throughout this section the letter blending is not done so in a fluent manner to direct the learner to understand the formation of a word.

Would recommend removing the listening ear, as that is listening vs decoding. If you remove the scaffold of hearing the spoken word, it requires decoding skills.
