Adding to the collection of vocabulary building apps

Today we uploaded our latest vocabulary building app to Apple for approval to be entered into the iTunes App store. If all goes as planned, the app should be available in about 10 to 15 days, sometime after October 25 th. We started off with a first grade edition, but plan to quickly add preschool, kindergarten, second and third grade editions.

There are two types of quizzes available; Random and Alphabetical and the quiz length is configurable from 10 to 50 words. At the end of the quiz, the percent number correct is displayed, along with the option to retry the same quiz or to start a new one.

Sight Words are in Meghan’s Memory Games

Meghan's Memory GameSight words (also known as Dolch words) do not follow the basic phonics so they cannot be “sounded out” as they are read. They need to be learned by sight! That’s where Meghan’s Memory games come in. Each grade/age specific game contains the sight words for that group. Meghan’s Memory Games will help your child to recognize and identify sight words by utilizing them as the game pieces that are matched together in a memory game. So, not only is your child’s concentration and attention skills being developed, but they are learning sight words at the same time.

Meghan boosts her reading score!

One of the light bulb moments I experienced in making the decision to start RatCat Software and to build iPhone apps came one day watching my daughter struggle with reading. For the first 3 marking periods of school this past year she consistently came home with a C on her report card in the reading category. Everything else, straight A’s. I thought to myself there has to be some way we can help boost her ability to read and understand the words on her grade level. A way that would be fun yet educational. I did a bit of web searching and found some really neat websites. We became especially found of spellingcity. One of the games that they offer is a memory match, which gave me the inspiration to create a similar game for the iPhone and iPod touch. Hence, Meghan’s Memory Games where born. Now the grades are in for the final period and bingo, Meghan raised her score to a B. Now is this conclusive evidence that Meghan’s Memory Games improve reading skills… Probably not.. But Meghan thinks so!

Good Job Meghan, we are proud of you!
