Great Program

Gives my daughter something todo that is educational and there are no hidden cost.
Incomplete
ramsrajkumar
The app itself has a nice layout, however it has inherent problems that are restricting and distracting to kids. 1. Drag is unforgiving for kids. The kids are expected to drag it all the way. 2. Word assembly requires kids to gather letters in orderly fashion. For example, N-U-T must be placed in the same order left to right. Why not allow kids to build however order they like? 3. The tweety helper bird and the mouse are too distracting from the original intend of the game. It has so many weird functionalities when kids touch them which are totally not needed and distracting. Parents should be able to disable them in the preferences. 4. Other apps link should be accessible only parents. My son enjoys it but he sees himself restricted and distracted by the arrangements of the app.
Needs one extra feature

I love this app for my daughter who is 13 and has a developmental disability. We want to recommend it to others in our community but it needs to have one additional feature before we can really spread the word. Please consider a setting that would allow us to turn off the requirement to “build a word” in letter order. Thank you!
Good, but not as excellent as Park Math

I think Word Wagon is a good app, but not nearly as amazing and worth the price as Park Math. Word Wagon has similar features as PM,but not the variety of activities. Word Wagon let's you chose to work on letter sounds, names, or sound spelling (at two levels). This allows for some differentiation, but I think the app lacks variety. While the focus might change, the activity is the same across all levels- pulling letters into squares to form the word. In the easy levels the words letters are displayed, in the harder the child has to guess on their own. Another drawback is that the word does not need to be built from left to right. As I said I love Park Math by this developer, but I wish I would have passed on this one... There are many apps that are available that do the same lesson, are free or cheaper or customizable.
Love It!!!

This app is great! Aesthetically its a 10. Well designed and easy to use. App works great for kiddos with speech delays as it not only teaches them how to spell words but it breaks them down sounds by sound. I highly recommend this app for anyone with children Pre-K - 1st or 2nd grade OR with a child with special needs and/or speech and language delays. Definitely worth the $1.99. Duck Duck Moose is one of my favorite app developers!

Very good app for kids to learn phonics and spelling. My 3 year old was very motivated until she found out that the pretty stickers that she earned disappeared after restarting the app. Please fix it!

LOVE this app!

My 2 year old daughter loves this app...and I love it because it's teaching her letter recognition, etc. There are similar drag and drop spelling programs out there, but none have the fun of this one..as soon as we downloaded it she completely ignored all of the other ones we had installed! I love that the game sounds out the word after it's spelled and the constellation star game after they've spelled a few words correctly is great..I think that's what keeps my daughter coming back for more. We have almost all of the DDM apps and as far as I am concerned, this one is another home run!
4 levels of play that will keep my kids learning through age 6
Cincinnati Karen
This game has four levels. My 2-year-old can easily do levels 1 & 2 (dragging scrambled letters to thier matching counterpart and making a word). My 4-year-old, who's learning to read now, enjoys level 3 which only gives you the letters but no other hints on how to spell the word. I'm glad there's another level after this to keep challenging her. In general, the app is a great reinforcer for letter recognition, spelling and reading development. This app is WELL worth $1.99.
