Here's what educators and reviewers have said about earlier versions FirstWords:

“FirstWords is an app that teaches letters and words in fun and interactive way. Very easy to use these apps will help support your little ones learning with great illustrations and bright colors. Each app supports kids learning and encourages kids to explore and discover by revealing, rewarding and teaching.”
-- Fun Educational Apps

“Excellent - As a teacher, I love this game! Just what technology was meant to do!”
-- iTunes Review

“This app has great settings that let you control the level of difficulty for the child – either with lots of hints or almost none at all. The letters slide nicely into each word and when completed the child is rewarded by having the pictured animal enlarge and animate briefly.”
--Carisa Kluver at Digital Stortyime

“FirstWords:Deluxe is a very straightforward word-building game. Words are either said letter by letter as they are dragged into the appropriate gray boxes or, if chosen in the settings, a smaller set of words can be sounded out with phonics. This makes this game a treat for both pre-readers and early spellers.”
--Common Sense Media

"FirstWords is a great app -- as I said at the time, 'Leo loves First Words because it's fun and easy. I love it because he's learning to spell words, and the interface makes that learning error-free.'"
---Shannon Des Roches Rosa at Squidalicious

First Sight Words Professional Pros

Great for kids using unity AAC!Still needs some extra features, but its a great way to learn the icons and sequences! Also i like that you can choose grade level. It would be helpful for kids with more motor involvement if they didn't have to drag the letters to spell, maybe just tap them in order..JwiliffVersion: 1.0

Son mumGood for kids that struggle with speech they are able to start spelling the out the words eventually esp if they are struggling to say it. But with word pronunciation and spelling has been a great help. I like how you can move the tiles onto word that seems very effective and fun for the my little kid and also beable to tap the word over and over which helps him to beable to say it. I Also agree with other reviews comments. but I would say it’s far from a let down because he is starting to spell the words he struggles to say..D hi qdjjeansbqVersion: 8.1

First Sight Words Professional Cons

Extremely basic, Confusing graphicsThis is an extremely basic program and could have been designed better to promote spelling. Students are presented with correctly spelled word at the top of the page and scrambled letter tiles which they drag and drop onto the word. So it’s better for letter recognition than a child learning how to sound out syllables and improve their spelling. Also, the illustrations are extremely plain and oftentimes confusing. For example, the word WERE is illustrated by a watch, a plus symbol, the letter “S”, and an arrow. We had no idea what this meant. There were quite a few images that were very awkward and caused my students to get hung up on the indecipherable art or the strangeness of the art, like a soldier removing a giant snail from a cookie jar for the word TAKE. This would be fine as a free app to use once or twice with a pre-schooler interested in playing with letters, but we didn’t find it worth the $10 price at all, and regret the purchase..Quarkmonkey22341Version: 7.1.2

A disappointmentThe main problem with this application is that it basically uses the same format and engine of the other Learning Touch FirstWords apps. While this may work for words like "dog", "cat", and "car". It's not so effective on Dolch words like "will", "of", and "has". I'm not sure what designates this app as being a "pro" version other than different words and a higher price. If you aren't familiar with the FirstWords app format, you essentially get an object on the lower left hand corner of the screen representing the word to be spelled. There are a series of silhouetted boxes at the top of the screen showing the letters spelling out the word. There are tiles below that and the child drags the tile to the appropriate corresponding box to spell the word. The letter is spoken as selected and dragged to the box and the final word is said once the spelling is completed. The object representing the word then spins to the middle of the screen with a corresponding sound effect. Examples: "will" a picture of a guy I am assuming to be William Shakespeare (my 4 year old doesn't know Will Shakespeare) "of" a glass of orange liquid (I still can't figure what that means…) "like" a guy smiling beside the sun (ok. I guess he likes the sun or the sun likes him) "has" a guy with his arms open surrounded by dollar bills with a "+s" appended to the image "did" is a picture of a hand finger painting with a "+d" append to the image. While I understand the fundamental purpose of this app is probably to get kids to memorize the words, there is such a lost opportunity here. For example for the word "grow" instead of having a static picture of an Apple tree with a bunch of different sized apples on it, it would have been so much better to have an animation of an apple actually growing larger on the tree after the word is spelled. That way the child actually understands what grow means. Instead the apple tree just spins to the middle of the screen with a sound effect. Also, instead of just a generic sound effect at the completion of the a spelling, it would be so much better to actually have an example of the word in a sentence. Having the app say "we can see the apple grow on the apple tree" would not only be more representative of the meaning of the word grow, but it also reinforces a bunch of other Dolch words at the same time..Dhalver_XenoVersion: 1.0
