Learn My Name is a silly, cute, & rewarding teaching tool for toddlers, preschoolers and kindergarteners. I made this game to help my daughter and son learn to spell their names and recognize them in print. The cute kids bounce around the screen and you can fling them into each other. When you touch them you will hear the letter they represent. Drag them to the floating letter to match them up & get them to dance. We have an ABCs mode to practice letters.
The Learn Words mode features 100 special key words, these words represent over 50% of the words found in both childrens and adult literature. Based on the Early Reading Research work of Dr. Jonathan Solity & Janet Vousden At Warwick University these 100 words cover 61 phonic skills and enable children to read faster and in a more self directed fashion. Apps that feature the common C is for Cat and A is for Apple help with recognition of Cats and Apples however we dont feel that it helps them learn to read. These words help your child learn to read.
Our four year old son Elijah, who has been fighting cancer for over a year, is the voice in the game and will teach you letters and words. As a big brother we try to engage him in helping to teach his little sister Aliyah. In working with other kids trying out the app we have found they respond very well to learning from another childs voice.
Learn My Name features an all original music score written just for this app by gold record selling composer Jeff Sullivan. Its lovely music and designed to not drive parents crazy when they hear it a lot. We are parents too.
Adressed Feedback from comments, updated instructions above on how to edit the names, you can edit all 4 by clicking the yellow arrow to the right of the names.

Latest reviews of Learn My Name app for iPhone and iPad
Now sound to help with learning process. The name learning is not very instructional. Do not waste your money I knew I had in the first 60 seconds.
My three year old son is fascinated with this app but I have a MAJOR issue with it as a parent teaching my child letter recognition. The letters when they are spoken in the game do not always sound like the letter on the screen. For example the letter "d" sounds like "b" when the voice says it. My son argued with me this morning about it because he insisted it was "b" when I was telling him it was "d" because that is what it sounds like in the game. I removed it from the iPad because if this as I do not want my son to be learning letters incorrectly from this game.
An incredible app!! Well done!!!!
I feel like the description needs to make it clear that this app can not be personalized to teach your kid to spell his/her own name, rather there is a list of 4 preset names. That was a little disappointing. Otherwise the app is cute.
