Endless Alphabet is a cute and fun app that teaches spelling, words, letters, and letter sounds. I purchased it several months ago, and it is now one of my daughter’s favorite apps.
It’s simple to use, and there are not any detailed instructions to follow. Any child that can drag the cute monster letters across the screen should be able to play and learn. If your child is like mine, they want to use the iPad without help (and often can), so the simplicity here is a big win.
How it Works
The app begins with a selection of words to choose from, one for each letter of the alphabet. After selecting a word, it appears on the screen for a few seconds before a crew of monsters storm across the screen and knock the letters aside, leaving just a the grey shadows of the original word in their wake. The player must then drag the letters back where they belong.
This is where the action begins… While dragging, the letters wiggle and make the sounds of the letter being dragged. If the letter is placed correctly, it locks down. Place the wiggling letter in the wrong location and a sad, “wah-wah” sound indicates that the player should try again. The letters to not need to be placed on the word in the correct order.
When the word is completed, another cute and often humorous animation sequence is played reinforcing the word pronunciation and meaning.
