Madam Word: Reading & Spelling

The Madam Word application is a fun and educational tool designed specifically for children between the ages of 5 and 10. It offers a variety of games and characters that help children progress in their reading and writing skills. Created by speech therapist Brigitte Stanké, this app is based on the latest research on learning to read and promotes the development of important skills such as phonological awareness and lexical orthographic memory.

In addition to being a great learning tool, Madam Word can also be used as a re-education tool for children who may be struggling with reading and spelling difficulties. By using this app, parents and educators can help reduce or even prevent learning difficulties in these areas.

The app offers 7 different games, each with its own specific objectives. "The Neighbours" game helps children identify phonemes and graphemes in words, while "Whose card is this?" focuses on locating phonemes in one-word syllables. "Rhyme Time!" helps children judge if words rhyme or not, and "Mr. Mixup" works on syllabic segmentation and phonological working memory. "Word Dive" helps with phonemic segmentation and matching phonemes and graphemes, while "Madam Word's Library" focuses on the confusion between the letters "b" and "d". Lastly, "Word Pond" helps children visually process similar graphemes and auditory phonemes.

The free version of the app allows users to try all of the games, but a subscription is required to unlock all of the games. With its fun and educational approach, Madam Word is a great resource for children to improve their reading and writing skills in a challenging and enjoyable way.
