Spelling Whizz Reviews

Great app for y2 spelling

Bex14035 on

United Kingdom

Super way to help children learn the weekly spellings. The audio is her favourite bit as we add jokes to keep her engaged. Incredibly easy to share lists across devices. I think developers could improve allowing screen rotation.

In theory great, but keeps crashing

FunkyGibbon123 on

United Kingdom

Pages keep hanging. In the middle of a game, neither the home button nor any of the others work and I have to restart the app every 30 seconds. This after the effort of entering and recording almost 100 new words!

Fantastic app!

James Passmore on

Spelling Whizz is an excellent, simple to use app to help children learn to spell. It’s gimmick free, bright and colourful, and engages learners. One of the best features is that you can create your own spelling lists and add audio. Your list can be played straight away and can also be shared by creating a unique code. Send the code to a friend or download it onto your other devices - perfect for families with multiple devices, or teachers who want each iPad in their class to have their spelling list on to practice!

OK, but needs improvement

Cons It is not clear why the app requires you to log in (giving your email address) in order to share a spelling list, as you don't need to use the same email address to share a list. No total score is given when a child finishes a list. You can look up number of attempts for each word individually and colour is red if the LAST response was wrong. But unhelpfully each time the list is used the 'attempts' score merges. The sharing list facility is only helpful for children all using their own ipad. If you want more than one child to use the same device their attempts are merged with the previous user's score, so no useful individual scores. Pros The look cover check approach is helpful It's good to be able to add your own word lists.

Great app to get the children interested in doing their weekly spellings

Our children enjoy using spelling whizz and the school release the weekly spellings making it a more fun way to learn. Really happy with the app

Great update

Latest update has only enhanced this great app.

Fab app!

ATappy:-) on

United Kingdom

Fab app which my child loves to use to practise her weekly spellings. Research shows that using the Look Say Cover Write check method is the best way for children to secure spellings. This app reflects that strategy brilliantly and the children love using it!

Great Engagement Tool

Simon Merchant on

United Kingdom

It's always a challenge to get Jonathan interested in his spelling homework so the iPad format provides an instant engagement platform. As a parent I get the reassurance that this app has been written by expert teachers who understand the curriculum and successful learning methodologies. Jonathan benefitted from really understanding the learning journey as the app mirrors what he does in the classroom. I'd say this is a great way of supporting learning for boys who'd much rather be doing anything other than homework.

Fabulous

A really simple app to use with lots of useful spelling lists that are already created for each year group. It is also really quick and easy to add your own spelling lists to share with the school and parents.

Great app!

Great app to be used at home or school. Good to use in a class and was a great time saver as a teacher. Clear and simple.
