About I Create the Alphabet
I CREATE THE ALPHABET
Create your own fully personalised alphabets with:
• Your own words
• Your own images
• Your own videos
• Your own voice
Create up to four fully personalised alphabets with different themes fully tailored to their own ability, interests and language:
• One for each of your children, even Mum and Dad
• Things I Love
• People and Places
• Words I can say
A pre-set alphabet means you are up and running even before you add your own words and the app uses a dyslexic friendly font throughout (http://dyslexicfonts.com).
At Home
• Use your child’s own words rather than the usual pre-set ones that may have little meaning for your child: no more M is for Mother – M is for Mummy, Mama, or Mum.
• Add your child’s own name and photo or video: F is for Finn, L is for Lucy.
• Build alphabets in your own accent: whether you are from Liverpool or London, Birmingham or Brighton, Dundee or Devon your alphabet can sound local and relevant.
• Build alphabets in your own language: Scots, Gaelic, Welsh, French, Spanish or Italian.
• Add your child’s entire family and friends: N is for Nana, G is for Grampa, B is for brother.
• Use personal items from your own life instead of standardised objects: Y is for Yacht, X is for X Ray can be Y is for Yummy Yoghurt, X is for Kisses.
• Use colloquialisms, nicknames, place names and nonsense words: W is for Wilow Lane, I is for Iggledypiggledy.
In the Classroom
• Learners can use the mobile device to capture their own alphabet from found objects, challenging them to demonstrate their understanding of the alphabet and language.
• Learners can work independently or as part of a group, inside and outside the classroom.
• Challenge learners to create themed alphabets to tie in with personal interests of learning topics – for example a food A-Z, animals A-Z, emotions A-Z.
• Up to four alphabets can be stored at any one time allowing different groups or up to four learners to share the one device.
I Create the Alphabet allows you to switch between upper and lower case alphabets. Alphabets can also be viewed by swiping between letters or as a slideshow for younger users.

My wean makes his way through hundreds of alphabets on YouTube and now he can make his own. It means we can record in his own accent, add the made up words he uses, and all the things he loves and can say. We added videos of his grandparents and the dogs (no G is for Grandmother or Goose, it's G is for Gramps and N is for Nana in our house). You can save four different alphabets so we're working on an animal themed one at the moment. Really lovely idea.
