App: Blending Board
Developer: Chain Reaction Games LLC
Genres: Education, Reference

The Blending Board App is a powerful educational tool for teachers and parents working with dyslexic learners or anyone else still learning the foundations of blending sounds (phonics) and the multisyllabic rules of English.  In this App users will find an easy-to-use resource that allows them to create a deck of phonemes that can be substituted and manipulated to create various kinds of blending activities.  The decks enable users to practice decoding simple words, and multisyllabic words, too.  

Blending Board also offers a unique opportunity for creative flexibility by granting users design options when creating  personalized decks that are visually appealing. The end product is a professional-looking, personalized deck of educational materials that users can integrate into instruction with one or many, and which can be used time and again.
  
An easy-to-use QR code system allows the personalized decks to be shared with anyone who has the app, so that the teacher's time can be focused on teaching, not navigating complicated technology.
