First Words for Baby is an app that is designed by Papumba to help your young child take their first steps into learning their ABC’s. Children can choose from a variety of topics and play games or take trivia challenges to help them with their language acquisition.
The app features over 100 words in topics ranging from food to animals to body parts. The games that are available to play for each topic feature bright colors and fun sounds. And the best part of the app is that it is designed specifically for use by young children so adults do not have to guide their children through certain portions of the app; they can simply use the touch interface on their device and begin to learn right away.
First Words for Baby is free but unlocking all of the app’s features requires purchasing the entire program.
ABC apps are a great way for young children to practice their working memory skills. All of the activities in the app are designed to help children hear and see the sounds of words and letters while being asked to perform a task such as dragging and dropping an item into the correct space on the screen. These types of activities help build the connection in the child’s brain between the information they are being presented and the task they are trying to complete.
Focus: Getting started and then maintaining attention and effort to tasks.
Learning apps are also a great way for children to begin to practice their focusing skills. Because the games and activities in First Words for Baby are short and sustained, children will be practicing this skill by paying attention to the directions and then participating in the game.
