Le bonheur de lire for Android
Recommend for children to start reading
The app fosters the development of early literacy skills mainly by means of sight words and phonics. It can be used as a tool to early reading for French speaking kids who just started or want to start practicing their reading skills. The app lets parents turn on/off the background music and/or the sound effects, and after signing up they can follow their kid's progress. On my device the voice over was of low quality, which may impede the learning experience and lower kids' interest to continue the game. Also, the First Sentences level seems too difficult for pre-schoolers, but could be used with lower primary students to reinforce their reading skills instead. The app allows you to type in and record your child's name but the microphone captures the background music instead so the child's name is not audible. Overall, a nice edu product but not a high flyer, thus overpriced.
Got this app for my nephews ages 2 and 3, first off the three year old noticed all the bright colors in the app, it is very colorful to keep the kids attention. It uses slow learning methods to actually keep the child interested and learning quickly, focuses on one word at a time or the kid can choose from different games and has many different levels to make well worth the cost! The 2 year old laughed at all the characters (their are many) this is a great learning tool and game to keep the children occupied!
The app doesn't seem to load fully. It closes itself after the seven academy bit. I have this app on the I pad and it is exellent. Please fix this issue? Or I would like a refund.
I downloaded this app for my 3 year old niece who is 1/4th French but doesn't know a single word of the language. I thought of teaching her a few words so that she could impress her grandma who'd be visiting us in a few days. Anyway, the app looked really beautiful on my Samsung Tab's HD display. It is really vivid, colorful and super lively. She really enjoyed using the app and I can tell you that cause after a few minutes she just snatched it from me and started using it herself. Her favorite was the singing letters module of the game. Also, I personally feel that this app is really helpful coz in spite of being an adult, I was so mesmerized by the app, that I learnt a bunch of words myself. All in all, I'd recommend this app to all parents and teachers who'd like to teach young kids the basics of the French language. Trust me, it's really helpful.
It crashed everytime we used although the background looks cool.

Le principe est bien mais il y a des bugs dans l'appli. C'est perturbant pour les enfants.
