Needs attention by developers
Response from developer
Thank you for your response and feedback! Simplex Spelling does present students instant feedback when typing. The benefit of the instant feedback is that the student knows instantly when he or she makes a mistake. However, if you believe the end of list scoring may discourage one of your students, the scoring can be easily turned off on the lesson box at the beginning of each lesson. Simplex Spelling does provide the exact type of approach you recommend in the review and assessment lists. Since those modes turn off the letter by letter feedback and use a submission approach instead. The approach in the review and assessment lists gives the student the ability to correct typos before submitting words and provides a more accurate indication of their mastered level. We're sorry to hear that you've decided not to recommend Simplex Spelling for children with dyslexia. As a research study has validated Simplex Spelling as being highly effective in a classroom setting for students with learning disabilities. We've also received feedback from many educators relating how well they've found our apps have worked for their students with dyslexia and other learning disabilities. A number of improvements have been added to our apps, based specifically on feedback from educators working with students with special needs. We’ve taken great care with the details, right down to the custom font our app uses that provides visual differences between often confused letters. We’re sorry to hear that you don't feel that Simplex Spelling will meet your needs. We’d recommend still trying it with your students. Hopefully you’ll be pleasantly surprised with the results. Wishing you all the best. Craig.
