Build A Word Express Reviews
Produces sounds incorrectly
Example: the phonemes for “think” are not /th/, /i/, /n/, and /k/. The app also sometimes produces vowels in a very clipped and auditorily distorted fashion.
Frustrated
I paid for the ability to create my own list but it doesn’t work because you can’t hear the recorded word. How do I get a refund?
Can’t get voice to record
Paid the extra money to customize list and record my kids spelling words but it doesn’t work....:/
Fun and useful free spelling app
Thumbs up!
Great concept not accurate sounds
This app looks great but as mentioned before there are some sounds missing. Has a lot to do with short and long vowels. Besides what has been previously been mentioned I noticed /a/
Awesome
My students love this app!!! I like that you can add your own list into the app. It is a great, engaging spelling practice app.
Cute, but not entirely accurate
This app is aesthetically pleasing and kids would have fun with it, but I would not put this in the hands of a beginning or struggling reader. It does not account for vowels and others letter combos having more than one sound. Example: /i/ in think and /i/ in pig; /th/ in bath and /th/ in there. The sound of the letter tiles only offers one sound.
Spelling
Cool app. It helped.
No sound
I adjusted the volume on my ipad for full volume and there is no sound which makes it hard to hear what the app is saying.
