BIGMOUTH SOUNDS 
(Jan 12).

"Bigmouth Sounds" is a fun app for children learning speech sounds. It is based on the 'Bigmouth Sound Pack', published through Stass Publications in 1994, now also available on Amazon and through other book stores.

Bigmouth Sounds provides 36 character sound cards with spoken and written instructions on how to make each sound.
There are 5 fun sound-based stories, and a great snap game too!

Originally created by qualified therapists Norma Ramsay and Sarah Hughes Bigmouth was designed to help teach children the phonemes for spoken English. It was also successfully used with children with hearing impairment and also with adults with dyspraxia.

The app is designed to be fun for any child learning their sounds.
