Teaching over a year of spelling curriculum with more than 750 high frequency words divided into 52 lists that are organized by spelling patterns and difficulty levels. Each of the 52 lists comes with a lesson that teaches one of the basic building blocks of spelling in the English language.
Our spelling lists focus on some of the highest frequency words in the English language to help students establish a base foundation of literacy and confidence with spelling and reading.
The Simplex Spelling educational methodology has been validated by an academic study that showed an average spelling improvement of 1.9 grades among children in a classroom setting who regularly used it over a 18 week period.
Students learn a new concept for each lesson building on the skills learned from previous lessons and those covered in Simplex Spelling Phonics 1 & 2. Simplex Spelling Phonics Advanced Phonograms guides the student and acts as a personal spelling coach with every word, while teaching students "how to spell" English words. Every word is broken down into its syllables both visually and auditorily to help students build phonological awareness skills. Our “reverse phonics” hint feature breaks each word down further into individual phonemes to improve phonemic awareness, a critical skill in achieving literacy.
Simplex Spelling Advanced Phonograms focuses on some of the more difficult phonograms in the English language in addition to lessons covering contractions and the capitalization of proper nouns.

Great app for classroom teachers
Experimentgirl
This is a great spelling/phonics app that is clearly designed by people who understand reading instruction. I was able to set it up and implement it into my reading intervention class in one day, and every student who used it reported that they liked it. It's rare that I find an educational app that allows multi-user support, and this can support a full class of students. This app is great, and I look forward to continuing to use it with students.
Fantastic App
CharsReviews
Wow! This is such a great App. As a homeschooling mom to be I am definitely going to use this App once my children have passed through the other Simplex Apps. It's also great that you can change it to British Spelling since I am South African and we use the British system. Even my 4 year old could follow some of the simpler words. I will recommend this to the school I teach at in South Africa.
Solid phonics app for spelling
VLMaples
This is an amazing app for in-depth work on phonics with multiple spell modes and keyboards with excellent visual cues for help and correction. This app has an extensive list of phonemes and using lesser known homophones in sentences not only teaches spelling, but increases vocabulary. While there is room for enhancement primarily in customization, this is a very useful educational tool.
Cool Spelling App
Mr. Frausto
This is a great challenging spelling app for gifted or older students. There are 52 quizzes. Each one gives a mini-lesson for spelling goal, along with the word in a sentence. The words are broken up into spelling and there is a blending function as part of the "Hint". It could be a bit more colorful but overall it's a great spelling app in particular for gifted students.
Great Spelling App with Emphasis on Vowels
JulesA08
I really liked how well Simplex Spelling Phonics - Advanced Phonograms taught uses how to spell long and short vowels. The app also gave good hints and explanations when needed. The audio voice sounded good and was easy to understand. The app also gave great sentence examples.
Professional App

User friendly phonics based spelling program offering a year of spelling curriculum (750 words). A lesson is presented for every word. Words can be broken into syllables and phonetically pronounced. Progress toward mastery is provided. A choice for entry can be made between 'abc' layout and standard keyboard.
Excellent app

This is a great app with a beautiful design and well thought out format. The user has the option of working through 52 different blends. Within each lesson you are taken through 10 works that are read out loud and then you get to spell out the word. You are given a nice green box for each letter you use correctly, and a red box for each incorrect letter. I found the game to be very fun and was immediately drawn into it. One thing I did notice is that words given were not necessarily common words, which made the app truly advanced. Overall a fantastic app. I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for more challenging words or format.
Excellent spelling app!

Thank you for sending me an advanced spelling app. I like the instruction part that is given right before the test. I also like the fact that a student can request more instruction. When a word is spelled wrong, the app highlights the wrong letter or letters and gives the student the chance to correct it. Awesome!
Great Spelling App,
HappyMom512
This is an awesome spelling app! It provides lessons and instruction on different spellings of sounds and sound combinations. It also gives the speller immediate feedback when they begin to misspell a word. It also gives specific lessons for easy vs. harder rules. I love this app!
