Blending Board Reviews

by Sadkid5

There should be an option to randomize the order in which the cards are presented.

Seems like I’m flipping through random letter tiles none of which connect to make actual words

I love the picture on BlendingBoard when you search for this. It has the clear white cards with yellow for vowels. However, after you download it, the cards look much different and are barely visible. I wish it looked just like the picture on BlendingBoard Store. This was not clearly thought through when developing BlendingBoard. It clearly needs an upgrade. So disappointed.

This is so great, but I still can’t use it with my students because of one key feature that’s missing. Maybe I’m missing it, but I dont see the ability to multi-select several groupings within each column. For example, in column 1, I want all consonants AND blends. Right now, it’s either/or option only. I can’t use the + ‘blank’ option b/c it is limited to only one add’l custom tile. An alternative is to have an option in each column, that includes ALL possibilities, where you can just de-select what the student hasn’t learned yet. If you add either of these options so the decks are a true reflection of paper OG cards, I would use it in professional tutoring. Right now, I would need to build multiple deck variations for one child. Keep up the great work!

I’ve recently found this useful app and am exploring its features. After watching the video (on the website, not through BlendingBoard ), my practice with features has led me to mostly happy results. The functionality in regard to ease and flexibility of creating personalized decks with beginning, middle, and ending sounds is great! I am not finding success with changing the theme color or background (pumpkins, eggs, etc.). When I click the paintbrush, the color options and screen settings appear, but I can only get the screen settings g (dark, light, auto) to change. I deleted and re-installed BlendingBoard , but that didn’t change anything for me. Thank you in advance for your support.

I love the idea of BlendingBoard, but there is no sound, why can’t I hear the sound

by Elizabeth4080

I like this blending board, it is a great way to help me organize my different decks for all my classes, but I wish I could randomize the sound cards because they are always presented in ABC order. Is there a randomized option? Very nice app to help teachers get started for online learning.

Love BlendingBoard! So much easier than fumbling with cards! I would love it if you could select more than one thing for each column. For example, I want to utilize single consonants and beginning blends in column one.

This is a great tool for practicing decoding words. I use it as a warm up in my reading groups. Is there a way to use it in a laptop so I can project it on my whiteboard?

BlendingBoard is an AMAZING Educational App for my students. It addresses the needs of students with blending deficits like no other App on the market!

I hope you will bring the previous colors back to life. The new colors appear very dark on my MacBook screen. The sound cards pop up with dark shades of green and gray, and the background colors are no longer clean, bright, crispy and clear. If the developers can help me fix this issue, I will be eternally grateful! I use BlendingBoard all the time with my students!

Thanks ever so much for this valuable teaching tool! Pam M. M.Ed. Cert ified Dyslexia Specialist

Thank you for creating this really easy-to-use tool!! I can’t wait to use it with my kindergarteners!!

I wish BlendingBoard could be used on my computer during Zoom meetings with a small group of kids.

by Jwsgf

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for to help my student learn to blend words. I love the different options for the various levels!

by Eaton4

This is such a great app. I share my desktop with my remote students. Have y'all thought about expanded this and making a program for computers?

This is perfect for any age. I work with middle and high school students and it is so hard to find material that is suitable for them.
This is easy for everyone to use and it is visually very easy on the eye. Excellent job!!!!!!!!

This is a fabulous tool to support parents and their children learning how to read with a systematic approach to teaching phonics and reading. This is an app that will greatly benefit ALL learners! Thank you for sharing! I’m recommending it to all my 1st grade students’ parents during our distance learning.
