Montessori Movable Alphabet App Description & Overview

What is montessori movable alphabet app? Ages 3-6. Designed for both parents and schools, this app beautifully provides children a way to "write" words in order to express themselves prior to mastering the use of pencil and paper! This is a preschool & kindergarten language activity that will help children learn the correct spelling of simple words.

We originally published this app back in 2011. After observing what others were doing with the Movable Alphabet, such as the Montessori Crosswords app, we wanted to create something that was more academic in nature vs. being more entertaining. So, we designed a very clean looking app that has a "manual" feel to it in order to closely resemble the physical Movable Alphabet material. Over the passed several years we've been thrilled to see schools systems incorporate our Movable Alphabet into their curriculums!

We're extremely excited about the new 3.0 update that came out in September! Many teachers and parents requested that we provide feedback to the child whether or not a word is spelled correctly. We wanted to do that, but in a way that still maintains the manual feel of the Movable Alphabet, without letters snapping into perfect positions. Well, after a lot of hard work, we've finally got something that has a great feel to it! Please watch the preview video to see how it works!

After learning to identify and blend the sounds of the letters of the alphabet children are often ready to build words on their own. However, the ability to write them down with paper and pencil may require much more time and practice to acquire. Therefore, Dr. Montessori prepared the Movable Alphabet for children to “write” words, long before mastering the physical skill of writing.

Children can phonetically sound out words, one letter at a time to build words. The app includes over 40 images of simple words, along with audio pronunciations and instructions, for children to practice with. Additional word sets are available, too!

To help the child construct the words correctly, they can touch the buttons in the box or the letters themselves to hear their sound, giving them the ability to "search" for the sound they are thinking of to build their word!

*****

About the Word Sets:

Once the children begin the process of composing three letter words (consonant-vowel-consonant) with the Movable Alphabet they are encouraged to move on to building four and five letter words. In our experience in the classroom, it is best to follow the CVC words with four letter, CVCC words, which often seems to be easier for the blending of sounds leading up to the actual reading of words. Mastering word building requires lots of practice and repetition. Following this, we introduce four letter, CCVC words and then five letter, CCVCC words. As the children master these skills they often explore the process all on their own and have fun expressing their own ideas using the Movable Alphabet!

Word Sets 1 & 2: CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant), three letter words (bat, fin, jug, etc.)

Word Set 3: CVCC (consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant), four letter words (fast, bulb, hand, etc.)

Coming soon: Word Set 4: CVCC (consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant), four letter words ending with “ck” or “nk” (sack, rink, tack, etc.)

Coming soon: Word Set 5: CCVC (consonant-consonant-vowel-consonant), four letter words (clap, flex, spot, etc.)

Coming soon: Word Set 6: CCVCC (consonant-consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant), five letter words (drink, twist, slept, etc.)

Dr. Montessori observed in her work with children that after working with the Movable Alphabet children experienced an “explosion in to reading!” Our goal is to bring a sampling of this excitement to a large audience via the Movable Alphabet on the iPad & iPhone!

Where is the Control of error. One of the main important part of Montessori philosophy is independence ,the application is very well done, apart for some of the phonetic mistake on the pronunciation there is not enough letters for the amount of cards on every exercise.(it should be same amount, right?). This entice the child to search for assistance,nothing wrong when is really need it. I consider these mistakes should be taking in consideration by the developer being that is such a good interpretation of the Movable Alphabet. Thanks I hope my review will be taken into consideration. A Montessori Director , A Mom and a user of some of your Montessori Apps.

Glitch - sound glitch on “l”. Hello, There’s a glitch where the “l” is placed; when you click on it, it sounds like “o” instead of sounding like “l” Please fix. Thanks

Jo’s and G’s don’t light up when spelled correctly. The app is still buggy, despite the latest updates.

Needs some work. The app is ok - sounds could use some improvement… If you press the picture twice quickly it repeats itself - press it several times in a row and it sounds like phonetic "rap" - please fix this. Also would like a way to clear the letters from the "canvas" without using reset and starting the cards from the beginning. If you are not going to do that at least do a "snap to" when replacing the letters. As it stands now they just sort of overlay each other and after a while it simply gets messy…

Need to fix sounds. Great app for kids to practice spelling. Letters are easy to move. My only problem is the sound of the letter 'e' sounds like short 'i' and the 'r' is making the 'er' sound when it needs to make the sound at the beginning of rabbit or rainbow. If sounds are fixed then this app is 5 star!

Good, not great. Really like that you can move the letters and clearly hear the sounds in making the words. However, the child cannot do this alone as it does not tell them if they spelled it correctly when you put the letters together by saying the word or a yes. Likely very complex as it really allows the child to move the letters at will. Also, the letters do not carry the sound so you need to push the button for each letter quickly to hear it sound out the word. It is still a good app but play it with your child.

Great apps for any Montessorian. As a certified Montessori toddler, early childhood, and lower elementary teacher I have to say I absolutely LOVE these apps. The subtle music and sounds, and the calmness of the voices fits right into the Montessori style of teaching. Not only do I use all of the apps for my own son at home, but I also recommend them to parents who ask for "homework", or who want to supplement their children's Montessori education further. I understand that some people find the apps too boring for their children, or feel as if their children aren't "stimulated" enough. Montessori education stimulates children by giving them accurate facts to work with, not by overloading their senses with bright colors and animated pictures, or loud music and sounds. These apps are a great addition to the Montessori curriculum, presenting children with the original tools but in a more modern medium.

A little disappointed. Sometimes the word directly across from the picture doesn’t match what the speaker says... you end up having words and their spelling match diagonally (fox=pen, pen=fox) Also the letter tray has the alphabet letters out of order in the bottom row. For as anal as the Montessori method is, I am dismayed that these obvious mistakes haven’t been fixed by now.

Question. My son loves the app. My only complaint is that half the time he identifies the letters of the word correctly but the box does not turn green. Is there a reason for this or a way to fix this issue?

Sound wont work. The sound won’t work for us. We have the volume all the way up and not muted.... humm

No feature to save progress. Finicky about word building.. It’s June 2013 and since I saw similar comments from a long time ago, I thought that these bugs were fixed. We bought this app to contribute to the work this team is doing, but I’m disappointed that there is no feature to save work. My kid has to start over every time and this is very frustrating, after they successfully completed the work before (Montessori way). Further, the rectangles where the letters have to be placed a fuzzy about where the letter has to be positioned. This is not relevant to the movable alphabet, so it’s also very frustrating to my kid, when the box doesn’t turn green. It would be great to have the save feature and the rectangles be less buggy.

Changes needed. This app would be better if there was the option to use control words (words spelled out already). I hope the developer makes this change. At the moment it remains too intimidating for my preschooler.

Having trouble. Having trouble with some of the words. Any word with a j or g doesn't light when it's spelled correct

Great App Fun To Use And Helps Child Learn Fast. Its a nice app but just on the 3rd page in word set 1, the box for letter “j” for “jam” is looking half colored, I checked the next pages and there are many more like that and that is only on the word set 1. The problem with that is those words with the half colored boxes don't light up when answered correctly, which results in frustration. I was so happy to see my child working on the letter words only for 5 minutes. I really hope it is fixed ASAP Update 04.04.19 Thank you for the response, we have actually figured out the problem soon after I posted the review. Totally my bad I am embarrassed for my comments when I realized this. The app IS working great, my son loves it and it does help my son learn the phonics even his Montessori teacher noticed his progress. It is a FIVE STAR! Now we are waiting for the next group of words :)

Word pronunciation. I like the setup of this app however the individual letter sounds do not blend together as words are made and there is no confirmation that a word is spelled correctly. I wish the speaker would pronounce the letter combinations as the letters are moved in place on the mat. I would also like some sort of indication that a would has been spelled correctly. I would not buy this again.

Good, few issues. It does what we were looking for although I wish the handwriting (cursive) app was also updated - especially since that is what is normally used in Montessori schools. It resets every time it is opened, so it goes through the little intro demo every time. It doesn't keep track of what you did last time. And it often doesn't show the green success box around a work - sometime you have to place the letters more exactly in the middle sometimes it just never works.

Waste of $3. Shows a picture and a bunch of letters. Doesn't show how to spell or offer any correcting. Can't change to upper case letters. Your kid could spell "cat" as "jrgifrohlhfdf" and would have no clue if he or she was correct. Don't waste your money.

Great but flawed. The app is just what I was looking for except that it sometimes doesn’t sense where the letters are placed exactly so sometimes the game doesn’t say it’s right (green box) even when it is. This leads to lots of frustration and confusion.
