FONÉTICA SIN LETRAS De Lujo 1.3

This application aims to foster phonemic awareness skills in children, an area highlighted in research as a significant predictor of literacy success (Stanovich, 1986; 1993; Share & Stanovich, 1995).

Letter Free Phonics provides a foundational approach to understanding the alphabetic principle and aids children in identifying the beginning sounds of words. It is designed to help children grasp that words are composed of phonemes, or sound units. Children exhibiting strong phonemic awareness tend to outperform their peers on literacy assessments, regardless of the instructional methods applied (Griffith, Klesius, & Kromrey, 1992).

The primary objective of Letter Free Phonics is to cultivate essential reading skills. By engaging with the application's interactive games, children can enhance their ability to recognize and discriminate initial sounds in words. For instance, they may learn to associate the /b/ sound with words like ball, bat, and balloon. Through consistent practice, children develop neural pathways that support sound recognition.

When presented with printed letters after using this application, children are likely to associate each letter with its corresponding primary sound, facilitating a smoother learning process for the alphabet. This phonemic instruction offers a crucial advantage in early literacy development.

The app's title reflects its commitment to focusing solely on auditory skills rather than introducing letters themselves. Letter Free Phonics emphasizes the importance of nurturing pre-literacy skills through sound recognition, ensuring that learners engage only with sounds and not the letters or their names.
