My 9-year-old son has been getting a lot of handwriting assignments in school. I realized that I was spending a lot of time spelling words for him. "Dad, how do you spell, allergies?" I would spell it out, "A-L-L-E-R-G-I-E-S," and he would just write it out, one letter at a time. Once he was finished, he didnt go back and read the word again. Instead, he just continued on to the next word. It didnt seem like a good way to learn, and we dont even own a printed dictionary like my parents had.
So, I invented Sound It Out. With Sound It Out, my son starts the word by sounding it out, chooses the right word, reads the word in its entirety on the screen, and then copies the word by hand on paper. We can monitor his usage of the app, and ensure that hes only using the dictation feature as a last resort.
Sound It Out is a fun and effective way to learn. Now that my son can work independently, I can turn my attention to my 6-year-old whos chasing the cat, for who knows what.
