Dela Kids - Learn English

Dela Kids is a free English learning app for kids whose aim is to help young children who are just starting to learn about letters and language. Due to this it could also be used by older children who are learning English as an additional language too as the structure of the app will work well for these children too. Although the developer website does not have much information on it they have clearly spent a lot of time researching how an app like this should look and work to aid the most amount of learning for its users. Due to its functionality, the high quality of the graphics and the sound the app could very easily be used both in schools and at home guided by parents.

The app is free and there is a lot of content that can be accessed through this however if you wish to access all areas of the app and to disable the adds then this can be done for a small fee. Doing this is certainly value for money with the extra content that is available however as previously mentioned there is a lot that can be accessed anyway through the app for free.

Once a user opens up the app they have a number of options which they can access. The first is an audio/visual representation of the alphabet, which through a simple song and the letters moving across the page allows the user to hear the letter and see how it is formed. It is a good way to introduce the letters as well as being a good repetitive activity to aid this memory, especially for the youngest of children learning about letters for the first time.

Once users become more confident they are then able to begin learning how to form the individual letters themselves. Through this part of the app the user is given all the letters and an animal or object beginning with that letter. Once they click on it they are told the letter and the representation given so they hear the letter in a word. They are then shown how to write the letter effectively whilst given lots of praise. As they complete each letter they are given a repetition of what the letter is and what its representation is, again allowing the user to compound their new knowledge.

The user is able to work through a number of different activities like these, each time learning slightly different aspects that will help them to become confident in knowing their letters and being able to form them correctly. I really like the praise that is given all the way through the app and that users are given the opportunity to earn stickers to encourage them to keep using the app and to return to it on a regular basis. Overall Dela Kids is one of the best alphabets apps.
