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                     Awesome Den217
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             Cute but not entirely accurate Bsafer

The letter R does not make er or ir or ur R says r Your app makes the r controlled vowel sound Fix this please You re teaching kids incorrectly     Wrong sound for letter 2Mastiffs
My kids love this game and I love that they are getting better with their spelling which was stuck around a 70 all year The bubbles are great I can save their spelling lists to this so they are practicing what they are getting tested on The only thing I have a complaint about is that it doesn t save the settings for each child One of my kids has 6 spelling words and the other has 12 every week and I have to pick a larger quiz number than each of those so that they end up doing the same word a few times on the test section that and after I change the user I have to remember to go in and change the active spelling list too or my 2nd grader ends up practicing my kindergarteners spelling words But all in all a great practice tool                 Kids love this KArylMow
App store says this is ready to be updated but it won t update I still can t download this update As I have a second grader this update would be useful         Won t update Sunriseseeker

I use this app with students who are struggling in reading It s a great way to practice spelling patterns letter sound correspondence and the love popping the bubbles One thing I d change is that students can t correct if they drag he wrong letter up in a quiz even if they realize before the word is done But overall a great app                 Great for reading support ReadTeach370

This is a great app especially for children who may be at risk for decoding problems The way it gives auditory feedback of the phonemes in the word is also great Will definitely recommend this app to teacher friends and parents As a speech language pathologist I see this as a great app for RTI kids needing a little boost with their decoding skills                     Great Sarah.Naurato

I am eager to try this with my boys I think it s fun                 A lot of fun Spectrummom
Wonderful app for those who are just learning how to spell k 3 or those students that need to review a set of phonics Practices and tests are broken into specific chunks that makes it easy to see if the student has mastered the sound This would be a good RTI tool I would give it five stars if you could enter multiple names                 Great tool Piston nicknames
My 5 7 and 10 year old enjoy this game I wondered if the audio prompt to spell a word in practice and test would be difficult to understand but I found that as long as the kids did the learn first then they pick up on the audio prompt pretty easily I like how letters and blends are sounded out It would be great it the kids could build a word themselves and then hear the word they built instead of just being able to build words as prompted Overall this is an excellent app to help kids to read and spell This app is a keeper for our family                 great way to learn to read and spell sevenrox
I love the levels available to learn practice or test as well as the data collected Charming graphics Great for phonemic awareness                     Well designed SLPmg
I gave this app 3 stars because while it has potential I found that saying a vowel in correctly does not help but only hinder a child s learning The u sound when seen as an isolated sound as in truck does not say oo as in too so why pose it as such I know it is difficult for developers to produce these unique sounds but the vowels are actually the most important part of a word When we teach children with apraxia we start and shape the vowels We don t work on consonants first Maybe if you could add different u s with lip postures that would be helpful I just found it annoying that truck would actually be trook and it will confuse a child who is just learning how all the sounds fit together for reading             Express Thpeech
I really like this app I use it in speech therapy with my reading intervention groups Is great for sound discrimination listening phonics phonemic awareness and spelling Very nicely done The kids love the rewards                     Great for phonemic awareness Wagnerslp

This spelling app is amazing with early learners Students learn the letters in a word letter placement and positioning sounds of the word the word itself and then the spelling It really takes you through the concrete steps of early development learning I have used it with a four year old whose second language is English She had fun and started to pick it up right away Also I used it with my friends children and they loved it Ages two four and eight got a kick out of playing They were self motivated and in a group started teaching themselves I love it One con Too many in app purchases Bundle all purchases at a lower fee or set the app to one fair price with all in app purchases included This is something I feel draws away from this apps true educational value Also the buyer feels and sees they got their monies worth or received more value at an acceptable cost                     Great Spelling App Frances Amato
I have to say I love all your apps but this one is just great I use it with my 6yr old who has autism and it works so well for him Keep up the great work I have to add that we own most of the apps you ve made but this one is the first one we got and we still use it Racer really loves your apps                     Great app Racers Mommy

I love apps that are entertaining and educational Not all spelling apps really have taught my boys much except how to memorize I love the test results so I can see how they made all their mistakes and praise them for the ones they got correct I also like the settings feature My boys will push any button on the screen and are too easily changing settings Recording options are great for us since I am finding my boys mimicing the accents on apps instead of saying the words as they are pronounced here in Ireland                 Cool app
