Latest reviews of Chimp Fu Syllables app for iPhone and iPad
My students love this app however level 2 is based on UK syllable division rules and therefore confuses students in the US. It would be helpful to have a US version available too.
The swipe does not work once you get into the program. Therefore, my child and I are stuck on the very first word and can not get past it.
I am am dyslexia therapist in the U.S. I wanted to try this to see if I could recommend to my students. The syllabication rules do not align with what I teach in an Orton-Gillingham program. I found the progression to be a little confusing at times. Also, I did not feel there were enough levels. I did really enjoy the graphics. I know my students would love that part, especially the bonus round chopping.
