Phonics Apps for Kindle

[Lollydaydream]

Could anyone recommend a good Phonics app for kindle?
My dd is 5.5 and getting there with reading but could do with a lot of revision of sounds especially diagraphs - she had a speech delay after glue ear which seems to have left her natural grasp of sounds confused itand in yr R had another ear infection so I think missed some of what was being taught. I think she's getting a bit more input at school now but is very resistant to me explaining anything to her at home, but loves the novelty of playing on the kindle and I think it takes the pressure of her - she doesn't worry about getting it wrong.
I found a lovely app called Montessori words which shows sparkles, fliers etc when she gets a word right, but it has a French accent!
any suggestions ?

I would have thought a CD or DVD would give better results than on Kindle.

The DfE site might have more information.

Or PM to 'mrz' - she knows EVERYTHING 'phonical' !

There's one called Reading Raven that DD quite likes to use on my iPad, I'm not sure if it's also available on the Kindle.

The main spellings for the 44 English sounds are the following:
The most often used English graphemes are the following:
A, a-e, ay (cat; plate, play) air (hair); ar (car); au, -aw (sauce, saw);
b (bed);
C, ck, k (c/at/ot/ut, crab/ clap, kite/kept, comic, pick, pocket, seek, risk)
Ch, -tch (chat, catch); d (dog);
E (end); ea, ee --y (eat, eel, funny), er (herb),
F, G, H (fish, garden, house);
I, i-e, -y (ink, bite, by);
J, -dge, -ge (jug, bridge, oblige); L, M, N, ng (lips, man, nose, ring)
O, wa, qua, (pot, want, quarrel), O-e, -o, ol (bone, so; old),
Oi, -oy (coin, toy), Oo (food, good),
Or, -ore, war, quar (order, more, wart, quarter),
Ou, -ow (out, now); P, Qu, R (pin, quick, run),
S, -ce, -cy (sun, face, emergency);
Sh, -tion, -tious, -cial, -cian (shop, station, cautious, facial, musician),
T, -te (tap, delicate), Th (this thing),
U, u-e, -ue (up, cube, cue)
V, -ve, -v- (van, have, river – no doubling),
W, -x, Y (window, fix, yes);
Z, -se (zip, wise),
-si-, -su- (vision, treasure)

The ones I have given u above are the most used spellings, but there are dozens of others.

I've listed all of them as well, but because this system does not keep Word formatting, they are not very clear.
I'll paste them in as well. The first few words show the most common spellings for each sound, followed rarer ones.
If u want a clearer, formated version, PM me.
(The numbers in brackets show how many words out of the 7,000 most HF ones use the main spelling - and how many have other spellings.)

So i thought that until she finds a Kindle app, or if she does not, they might help.

Pocket phonics is good app
