Excellent App!
Recently purchased to add to my iPad Learning Centres for Language Arts Enrichment. It is a great app and popular with students too! Unique features make this a must buy for parents or teachers! Customer service was wonderful by company when I was originally looking for a new app to add to my collection.
Very helpful
I absolutely love this app for spelling test help wi my daughter, and I love that I can import my own lists. One down side is that the words are not always pronounced as they should be, but I'm there to help correct it. We love the start and hearts and playful interaction afterwards. We also love the crossword app. Great purchase and definitely worth it!
Perfect for spelling practise!
This app is perfect for spelling practise and just playing around.
I speak word I
This app is so much fun my son enjoy to moved the letter around and tries to figure things out . It is an excellent app to have to learn to put word together
Word wizard.
Love this app. We homeschool so I use this with All About Spelling and All About Reading curriculum
Awesome app
My kids love it, my 5 yr old uses the built in lists, my older ones put in their spelling words from school to work on them. It's great!
Great app
I just tried this with my 6 yr old son. I love the fact that I can create my own lists of words so that he will be able to practice his words for his weekly spelling tests. You can also put the letters into qwerty, which should help with his typing skills! It might receive the final star as We work more with the program.
Phonetic Keyboard
I use this app in my classroom to have students spell words, they are very motivated to use it and I like that the letters are phonetically spoken.
I actually liked and enjoyed this app but ...
My students in special education love this application!
