Fun

My son actually said studying his spelling words was fun with this app. We had no arguing or tears this week over spelling practice. Thank you!


Worked great until Nov 2020 update

This was a wonderful app that helped so much with learning custom spelling tests in a fun way. Unfortunately, now the app won't even open. I will have to try and find a replacement app.


Educational & Fun!!

I prefer my son to play educational games, but there aren't many out there that will hold his attention like some of the mindless game apps do. Imagine my surprise when he not only willingly played the game (over & over), but I had to make him stop because it was bedtime! I love that I am able to customize the list to match his weekly spelling list so he can practice for his test each week. I also like the option of having the word displayed for a period of time before he has to spell it...a technique I've used often as a teacher! No matter if your child goes to public or private school or is homeschooled, this is a great app for practicing for spelling tests!


Love it!

My husband and I enjoyed recording our daughter's weekly spelling words (using silly voices, of course!). My nine year old was giggling as she learned - who knew spelling could be so fun?


Squeebles spelling game

Finally, an educational app that can be modified for each specific child. The ones I have purchased in the past have either been too easy or too hard and there were no options to tailor the apps to what my children are learning. This app is so easy for me to input their spelling words each week and for each child to test themselves (while thinking they are playing a game) on their specific words. Now my 1st and 3rd graders fight for their turn to quiz themselves! Would love to be able to put this app on my nook as well.


Awesome!

My daughter practices her spelling list on this every night. It works great, easy to use and set up. She loves earning points to buy squeeberangs. Way more fun than practicing on paper, and helps them find their way around the keyboard too.


Easy to use!

My daughter and I love this app! She enjoys studying her spelling words now. I have 2 suggestions: 1. That there would be a login in parents section to avoid having to re-enter words on multiple devices, and 2. That there was a learn feature, to help them learn a list initially. Thanks for creating great educational apps!


Really helped for spelling test!
Nasbinator

This app has really improved my sons spelling test. I like how you can record your own voice to say the spelling words to your child. You also get rewards when you get them right or so many in a row. My kid actually wants to use this app and practice his words now.


Fabulous app
Lowell Reiter

Amazing tool to help kids study for spelling tests. Easy to use, customizable and fun!


Awesome
Brenda shaw

This app is great for young kids and shows them how to spell and pronounce. I think that this is great for all ages. And you can personalize with your voice. It also has a fun game to play with when you get the words right and get to build new records as you play.
