Magic Spell Phonics app for iPhone and iPad

Learning to read is the foundation of children’s early years education, it is essential in supporting learning throughout a child’s education and improves employment prospects in later life.

The app forms part of a research project investigating the potential of augmented reality to support alphabetic decoding (phonics). Working with teachers and other educational professionals the study used a focus group to identify requirements for the application. It targets areas covered by the UK Government Phonics programme.
