... A fun
and creative approach to the typical ways children learn
vocabulary and spelling words.
... I would certainly recommend the purchase of this product to
families with children of ALL ages. This is great for at home
learning!
... This is a product that should be utilized daily -- or near
daily -- to reap the rewards of an expanded vocabulary.
... It
was easy to use and a great product for motivating my son to
spell correctly.
... The product is interesting/motivating for children. The
different features of the quizzes are worthwhile (pronunciation,
definition given, word used in a sentence). Also, different
levels are available, and children can select the amount of
questions they want to have included in their quizzes. There are
also sound effects, which all kids like.
... They can practice words whenever they have time with no
assistance from parents or teachers.
... It remembers words my son missed on the previous quiz and
asks him to spell the word again.
... I like how it tracks how long he took on the quiz.
... I think it is interesting. My daughter enjoyed seeing what
she could spell and having the competitive aspect.
... I really motivated my son to want to do his best on the
quizzes.
... This is a good tutorial for kids who need or want to
increase their vocabulary and
spelling skills.
... I like the
Word Cup competition. |
