Phonics Tutor 8

Decided it was worth wasting a dollar to see if I could use this app to supplement my tutoring resources. Most apps, including this one, unfortunately to not quite have it down when it comes to getting correct pronunciations of individual phonemes. For example, in this app the /l/ sound is pronounced "luh", which is a source of great confusion for students who struggle with reading and anyone trying to learn to spell phonetically, since they would be adding an additional sound that is not there. /l/ is spelled l, /k/ can be spelled c or k, not <cu> or <ku>. Creators of these apps need to learn this and stop adding the extraneous "uh" sound to consonant sounds! Likewise with vowel sounds. This app adds a slight vowel sound to the short-i sound that is noticeable and annoying.
