The Alpha Tiles app is designed for learning the Maba language of eastern Chad, written in the Latin alphabet (an Arabic script version may be developed later). It is particularly useful for beginning readers, allowing them to become familiar with the letters of the Maba alphabet and learn the correct spelling of words.
The app offers a series of interactive games that help users recognize letters and words, fill in missing letters, identify correct spellings, match pictures to words in memory games, and much more. These games include varying levels of difficulty, allowing users to progress in their reading skills.
The first game introduces the letters of the Maba alphabet with example words, pictures, and audio recordings to learn their pronunciation. It is recommended to start with this game to become familiar with the letters. The other games offer practice exercises to reinforce reading and writing skills.
The app also includes audio instructions to guide users through the introductory screens and various games. Multiple users can play on the same device by registering their name as an avatar, and their scores are displayed on the game screens.
In short, Alpha Tiles is a comprehensive educational app, suitable for all ages, that uses interactive games, images, and audio recordings to facilitate learning the Maba language.
