Last year, I created an app Word Play and Learn with my daughter (then 4) to help my son (then 2 years) learn about the world around him. Its a simple (fun and interactive) app to help encourage speech development with children or adults in English and French.

— How does it work ? —   

Touch a photo and a real voice (Child or Adult in English or French) says what it is. There are sound effects together with a wide range of #free categories to choose from, no adverts, and works offline.

It also includes a memory game (Play) where a random photo is shown asking the player to remember it and select the answer from the others.

Last week – my daughter (5 years), for school, needed to learn how to tell the time – so I added “How to tell the time”, and while I was there – added “All shapes and sizes” and “At the beach” to make 17x categories!

Funny story

When creating “tell the time” My daughter was suddenly really good at reading the clock faces – when asked – she told me her secret – “I just read the words under the picture – daddy” – made me smile! It now shows the written time when it is said and not before!

The other week – I added french (adult) and was blown away when I showed my daughter (now 5 years) just once and when randomly asked what’s the french for “butterfly” – she replied instantly with “papillon”. She only half played with it for 2 mins! Made my day!
