This is a great app! I use it with my 10yo son with Autism and he is doing really well.

This is a great and excellent spelling apps. The narrator's voice is very clear and easy to understand. The words variation are great and it will keep the kids busy for a while. You can easily keep track of results and see what words you need to review or concentrate on. Highly recommended.

great tool for spelling phonics!

This is a great app to work on basic spelling for beginners or kids who struggle with spelling rules. The app is simple to use and set up. You can create users and track their progress throughout the app. There are 42 spelling lists targetting rules of English spelling (phonics). If they added the ability to add your own spelling list, this app would be perfect!

Intricate Detail!

SD_SLP

This is a great application with intricate detail. There are multiple facets that are provided to maximize the success rate. Data collection is a possibility; however, it does not track by date or number of words. Encouraging terms are used throughout for added motivation. Only one user can be selected at a time, so the possibility of group play is eliminated. There is a "lesson" provided and hints allowed. I would recommend this app!

Well worth it!!!

This is a wonderful app for someone just learning to spell. I can already see my beginning speller (five-year-old) improving by leaps and bounds after just a handful of lessons. I can't wait to see what she can do after going through the whole program. It really is a tremendous amount of content for a relatively low price.

Great app for phonemic awareness

Great phonemic awareness app. I come from a grad program that lays a huge emphasis on literacy and the scope of a SLP in that area and this is definitely one of my top recommendations to my fellow classmates and clinic supervisors. Ability to customize nd multiusers would be great. i know other apps out there have thse abilitites :) if i wasnt comparing it would be a 5!

Glad to have this!

I have all the Simplex Phonics apps and think they are a great resource for any learner, but also learners with special needs. The way of breaking down components of a word with color coding etc. is very useful, as well as the clear audio for auditory feedback too. This is not a "game" as one reviewer was disappointed to find out- it is a tool. There are other spelling games that may be helpful but this tool helps the child learn the rules first, then you can reinforce through other methods.

Excellent app...just a few wishes.

This is app is based on very sound theory and works well as a supplement to my literacy curriculum. In fact, I am considering using these lists as my spelling lists for next year. I love the fact that it teaches students just as i would if i could just sit next to them all the time. However, there are a few tweaks I'd like to see. First, I'd like there to be an option for the app to force students to master one list before going on to the next. Monitoring this while teaching other small groups is challenging. Second, I'd like to see the app open to each student's current list rather than defaulting back to the intro list. Third, I'd like to see the student names be a bit larger/more obvious while in the lessons. Several times I've had a student master a spelling list...on someone else's account.
