Awesome App
Chelleriki
I use this app for 6 years in a first grade classroom as a volunteer. The kids are focused and enjoy the challenge of beating the levels. This past year I had a third grader tell his teacher, he leaned about Prefixes and suffixes way back in first grade. It great to be able to challenge them. It is also great to tell them they are learning 2nd grade materials. My kids Especially love the honors board where they challenge themselves to be faster! Thank you for keeping this app updated for tablets!! A definite 5 star app!
What fun!

The examples in this game show lower grade levels than second grade and working with skills like initial sounds and other basic stuff...didn't see that on mine and like that idea...how can I get it?

This app has great potential for keeping kids motivated to learn more vocabulary that they will find in their McGraw treasures reading series. We need 5th and 6th grade too, please!

Nice rhyming app, although its disappointing when all three rhyming choices are made and there is an incorrect answer, it does not indicate which word is incorrect.....a hint for the student would be nice so they know what to look for in their mistake. Also, the word list is a much overwhelming for the younger grades...choices of three or four would be better.
Missing a few things

It's a good start. I'd like to see audio of the words. I can't find first grade!!! Is there a way to add it?
Please add more content!

I adore this app. The kids love it. The three choices of play are great for different kids' needs and personality. I would be very happy to pay for additional levels and additional content areas. Please create more. My kids ask for Bluster often, but we've gotten through the content and need more. Also- there are some initial sound images in the screen shots that are not in the game?? Where are these?
Love this app!

I am a Speech/Language Pathologist in an Elementary School setting. I really love this app but would love to see you add the ability to add or choose developmentally appropriate vocabulary and ability to take and share data. Keep up the great work.
