No wrong answers and no rewards

Unfortunately you cannot spell any words wrong. You should be able to spell it wrong and have it tell you to try again. Also it should tell you when you spell the word right by saying the word and something like good job or way to go!

Words are too easy

Mom2bsa

The words in this game are just three letters long. It is too simple for 2-4th graders. Otherwise it looks good for younger kids.

Terrible

Awesome Learning Tool... But...

My son was doing really well with this app! There were a couple of things, though, that I wish we're different. 1. I wish it would automatically advance to the next word once you correctly spelled the current word. And possibly have like confetti raining down. Kids like praise! 2. I think it'd be great if when the kids are trying to spell the word, as you pick up the letter it'd make the sound of that letter so that kids become familiar with the way each individual letter sounds. ALSO, if after they spelled the word it'd say the word again, to solidify that word to memory! 3. My son had a hard time understanding the kids pronouncing the words.

This game is so easy

Good for those who know phonemes

As a kindergarten teacher, I was looking for a way to integrate technology with my reading centers. This is good for my kids that already know their letter sounds, but for my lower kids who need extra phonics help, this isn't good for them. If the letter tiles would say it's phoneme when you clicked on it, that would be a great improvement! And a way to make it perfect would be to add the phonemes, and have the letters blend audibly upon word completion before reading the word fluently

I agree with Gater Girl

Also as another teacher.....good for those who already know phonemes ...and her suggestions for improvements would be certainly make the game better....I would only add I would like to see the letters written in lower case instead of capital.

Extra letter

Quvanny

Very nice, but I only wish it had an extra vowel so it can make them think a little bit more.

Pretty good, but...

My son loves playing this game, but the child's voice that says the word sometimes is not very clear, and sometimes even mispronounces words. Also, I don't think there is a way to repeat the word if you didn't understand what it said. Other than those things, it's pretty good.

Average

I agree with previous reviews regarding ability to repeat a word. Another upgrade needs to be: only allow the letters to lock in to place in order. My daughter learned quickly that she could just drag a letter over all the spaces and it would lock in to one of them.
