## Simplex Spelling Phonics 2 Description
Scientifically validated as a highly effective approach to improving spelling skills. A published study revealed that students demonstrated an average spelling improvement of 1.9 grades among children in a classroom setting who regularly used Simplex Spelling over a 18 week period. The largest student improvement observed over the same time period was 4.4 grade levels as assessed by administering the Schonell Spelling Test.

Simplex Spelling is one of the best ways to improve English spelling and reading skills. Using a powerful combination of phonics lessons, spelling/word patterns, syllabication, our unique “reverse phonics” (phonics encoding) approach and contextually relevant spelling rules. 

- "Simplex Spelling has a feedback method that rivals anything a teacher can do in the classroom. " - Carolina Nugent, Director of Education KinderTown.
- "No other literacy apps are this comprehensive." - Teachers With Apps
- "WOW!!!! I found my miracle app" - Speech Language Neighborhood
- Academics' Choice Award



Teaching over a year of spelling curriculum with more than 650 high frequency words divided into 54 lists that are organized by spelling patterns and difficulty levels. Each of the 54 lists comes with a lesson that teaches one of the basic building blocks of spelling in the English language. These basic building blocks include syllables, sounds, spelling rules and some of the more advanced English phonograms. 



Students learn a new concept for each lesson building on the skills learned from previous lessons and those covered in Simplex Spelling Phonics 1. Simplex Spelling Phonics 2 guides the student and acts as a personal spelling coach with every word, while teaching students "how to spell" English words. Our “reverse phonics” hint feature breaks each word down into individual phonemes to improve phonemic awareness, a critical skill in achieving literacy. 

One of the main areas of focus in Simplex Spelling Phonics 2 is on syllables and how they affect the way we speak, read and spell. Every word is broken down into its syllables both visually and auditorily to help students build phonological awareness skills. Many lessons teach the concepts of open and closed syllables, compound words, the rules governing vowels in syllables and syllable stresses. The stress on each syllable is subtly conveyed with every word to help students understand how the stress on a syllable affects the way words are pronounced and spelled. The schwa sound and its occurrence in English words is also taught.

## Simplex Spelling Phonics 2 Reviews in United States

### ***** "My comments"
I really like this app!!!!! I like the voice of the person reading the words. I like how this app designs the level, and that made me a truly good speller!           Thanks!
-- NTstepha, 2020-04-02

### *---- "IOS7"
Every since the upgrade to iOS7 my app has not been working! I'm wondering if the app needs to be upgraded as well! I liked it before but until they fix it I am only giving it 1 star cause we can't even open it and we just bought it a few days ago.
-- Ruthie74, 2013-09-20

### ***** "Great app"
This app is really good it refreshes and also remind you how to spell ultimately learning how to write and read better! Which we all know is a good thing
-- Johnny & Kathryn ( LaCovey ), 2013-08-19

### ****- "Pretty good"
Would be great if there was a QWERTY keyboard option as many kids are now using computers and are familiar with this setup. They are going to use QWERTY at some point anyway.
-- Vpoort, 2013-01-28

### ***** "Awesome app!"
I use Phonics 1 and 2 in my special ed classroom-in 6 weeks my students' spelling scores increased by 20%.  This app supports reading reseach that shows study of phonics patterns can help both spelling and reading scores. Plus, my students love it - with only 1 iPad in my classroom, time using this app is at a premium because it is a fun way to study the patterns.
-- Beth678, 2012-12-02

### ****- "Change keyboard please!"
This is a great app! My daughter can work independently and the phonograms help to reinforce what she has learned at school. Could you please change the keyboard so the letters are arranged  in the order we are used to using while typing? So much time is wasted looking for the letters because we don't type in alphabetical order. Thanks!
-- MCM's Mom, 2012-06-19

### ***-- "Good app with room for improvement"
The app has a lot of target words and has great visuals. It provides a lot of practice and is a motivating tool for spelling and literacy skills. The way syllables are divided is tricky though and doesnt follow what's typically taught in school. Ability to customize it by choosing target words per session, being able to record voice and use with multiple users simultaneously in a group setting would be great additions to future updates.
-- Rams slp, 2012-06-16

### ****- "Great comprehensive spelling application!"
This is a very comprehensive application focusing on spelling! There are great visual clues, for the user, to assist with learning. Users can be self-sufficient with their learning.  Data tracking is an option; however it does not track ability level with accuracy by date of play. You can't beat the price for the available features included!
-- SD_SLP, 2012-06-15

### ***** "wonderful app for teaching spelling :)"
My general opinion of this app is that it's a wonderful app to teach spelling to many ages of children. The app is easy to use and has clear dirrections on what to do. I love the sentences the app provides for the children so they spell the correct word for it's meaning. The hint button provides wonderful prompt for the child using the app. I would highly highly highly recommend :)
-- welcometotheirworld, 2012-06-15

### ***** "Well made app!"
This is a well thought out Spelling app to work on reading, spelling, and phonics skills. It comes with 54 different lessons that cover different spelling rules with an emphasis on syllables.  There is an intro to each lesson that teaches the concept and then the child gets to practice by spelling. It is unique because it uses "reverse phonics' which breaks down the word into individual sounds. This app can store and track up to 40 students.Great for k-2nd! A must have!
