Selectsoft, a leading developer of family-friendly games, has released Children's Picture Dictionary, a fun-filled talking picture dictionary and educational game designed especially for iPad® and iPhone®. Children can expand their vocabulary by browsing through over 1,700 words accompanied by colorful pictures. Kids tap the word to hear it spoken aloud, then tap the picture to hear it used in a sentence. Switching to Game Mode, users can play a word matching game for another fun way to discover new vocabulary. Though a simple concept, the talking dictionary approach is a way to encourage early development of language, reading and listening skills for young children. This universal app is available now for the iPad® and iPhone® on the App Store.
Children's Picture Dictionary features bright art and colorful cartoon characters to create an inviting, child-friendly interface. A large alphabet menu lets users choose their favorite letter to explore, or kids can use the simple search function to jump to a specific entry. Even the youngest children can easily swipe from word to word as they browse through the dictionary. Spoken audio provides the pronunciation for each word, while an example sentence and picture illustrate the meaning. It's a simple and entertaining way to discover new words that's perfect for the earliest learners.
In addition to the word entries, Children's Picture Dictionary also includes a Game Mode that lets users play a fun word matching game. Kids match each picture to the right word using what they've learned from the dictionary. Funny sound effects and friendly popups let the child know if they've guessed correctly or need to try again. With no time limit or scores, it's a relaxing and stress-free way for children to practice and explore their new vocabulary.
