Reviews

Decent
Benkerfisser

App seems decent... Haven't been using it long. Biggest issue is how they write the letter A. They don't do it like how we teach our children to write a lower case a. Kinda throws my kids off. I don't get when teaching apps want to use fancy writing??


Vowels
Droche

Really helpful in the car to work on vowels


Fantastic for blends and sight words!
SuperMomNinja

I use this app with my students and I can definitely see a difference. I like the sound feature that repeats the word. It really helps the kids out.


Great graphics!
Alexandra Banks

I use this app with my nephew and he loves it. I leaned about the app through his school principle. My nephew is now really focused on reading.


Good for blends and sight words
Cully Toomi

I have my daughter use this app in the car. It helped her win the school spelling bee! She knows how to spell every word in the app.
