The second mode is the reading mode where children can read the sentence and then check their work by touching the hidden picture. The picture is hidden to encourage word reading instead of "picture reading." Most young readers upon seeing the picture will guess its meaning and not even look at the words. The picture is hidden so that the child will read the words first and then only look at the picture to check their work. This app uses two and three word sentences, which are punctuated correctly and always begin with a capital letter. Prerequisite:  Sentence Reading Magic 2 requires that a child is able to consistently and easily read short vowel word that contain consonant blends such as drum, fast, frog, grip and held. A child who is struggling to sound out most every word needs to develop stronger single word reading skills. If a child has to sound out each word and then, stop and think about each word, by the time he gets to the end of the sentence, he may have forgotten what the sentence was about. This is an indication that the child needs more practice blending, segmenting and building 3-letter short vowel words and then words with consonant blends. The apps that will help with consonant blend skills are ABC READING MAGIC 2 Consonant Blends Learn to blend, segment and read words containing consonant blends. ABC SPELLING MAGIC 2 Consonant Blends Learn to build and encode words containing consonant blends. If the child is struggling with those apps, then they need to take a step down to gain practice and mastery with short vowel words. The two apps that will help with this are: ABC READING MAGIC 1 Short Vowel Words Learn to blend, segment and read 3-letter words. ABC SPELLING MAGIC 1 Short Vowel Words Learn to build and encode 3-letter words.
