Cool! I have developed a vocabulary builder that is built on top of a dictionary. There are a number of valuable features such as an automated study tool that uses spaced repetition for efficient learning. You can check it out at http://www.wordstash.com.
You may also want to check out our new app for teaching reading – eReadingToGo! (www.ereadingtogo.com)
This app uses a unique building-block approach that takes a child by the hand to walk through each sentence. Words are shown as large, simple and clear flashcards while the child hears the word clearly enunciated. Simple word games follow the flashcard presentation, which assists a child in understanding how each word is put together. Single words are joined as couplets, followed by phrases and finally into sentences. A beautiful illustration represents each sentence.
When a child begins a sentence, they are presented with the entire sentence, a thumbnail size of the illustration that represents the sentence, and a number of red lights. As they progress through the sentence in order, the lights will turn yellow and then green. This ensures they learn in a systematic and progressive way until they learn the full sentence. Once the light is green and is unlocked, the user can go back and relearn any word they choose.
eReadingToGo! assists children with way more than just building vocabulary – it helps to improve reading fluency along with reading comprehension. The system is like no other!
Hope you like it!
