Strictly spelling- NO phonics

I bought this app assuming there would be a phonics component to it...silly me. This app only identifies letter, no sounds. In order to teach a child to read they need to be able to recognize letters and know what sounds they make. I do not recommend this app to anybody, especially at $2.99. NOT worth a penny.
