Introducing ABC Spelling Magic, where learning to spell is fun and engaging! ABC SPELLING MAGIC incorporates the main principles of the Science of Reading.

This app is designed to teach children the sounds of the letters and how to construct words, aligning with the science of reading. With two levels of challenge, it indirectly imparts the essential reading skill of segmenting while focusing on the skill of learning to spell words with three phonetic sounds using short vowel words.

Incorporating the science of reading, the app's comprehensive approach is tailored to assist children in learning the sounds of the alphabet and honing their blending and segmenting skills, essential for early literacy development based on the science of reading.

SPELLING MAGIC 1 focuses on CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words, such as cat, box, and pig, which are fundamental for phonics instruction based on the science of reading. The app categorizes words by middle vowel sounds in the first part and by categories in the second part, offering a well-rounded approach to phonics and word construction, rooted in the principles of the science of reading.

The DELUXE version provides 245 words and offers a variety of options in the menu, including two types of voices, three types of fonts, two letter color styles, a special feature to connect the letters together, and over 185 additional words from the free version, enhancing the learning experience based on the principles of the science of reading.

Developed by a team of educators utilizing accelerated learning techniques and Montessori principles, this app has been tested and approved by preschoolers, aligning with the science of reading and providing an enjoyable and beneficial experience in learning letter sounds. We welcome your feedback and suggestions as we strive to provide an enriching educational experience for young learners, rooted in the science of reading.

User Reviews

ABC SPELLING MAGIC is highly regarded as an effective early-learning spelling and phonics tool, with strong audio-visuals and classroom/home versatility. The main recurring critiques are about inconsistent vowel/consonant color-coding and a desire for a more polished, interactive interface.
Pros
  • Strong foundation in early literacy: effectively teaches spelling and phonics with 3-letter CVC words, helping preschoolers become better readers.
  • Kid-friendly and easy to use, with clear visuals and audible sounds for lowercase letters when tapped.
  • Versatile for home and classroom use, offering two game types and vowel-focused categories for varied practice.
  • Color-coding of vowels and consonants (red/blue) aids recognition and learning.
  • Large, varied library of words with clear visuals and audio that support independent learning.
Cons
  • Color-coding for vowels/consonants can be confusing or inconsistent across updates (vowels and consonants shown in different colors).
  • User interface and graphics could be more polished and interactive; many reviewers want animation or a more attractive UI.

Magic reading apps has been a wonderful resource and teaching my preschool to read. The magic spelling apps are having a new issue, after completing the first word, on the subsequent word, letters will not move to be dragged into place. So basically, these apps are useless now. Would greatly appreciate the issue being fixed.

This is a great introduction for building and spelling short vowel 3-letter words. There are 2 types of games and a category for each vowel. Great for helping children with beginning phonics.

This app focuses on spelling and building 3-letter CVC words. In actuality word building increases reading skills. This app has a couple of choices where you can choose to build the word with either just the letters that are part of that word or from the entire alphabet.
