In addition, students will improve Spanish knowledge by focusing on more challenging words that are Blends (combinations of 2 or 3 consonants such as "bl" or "ch") and Digraphs (vowel combinations that have distinct sounds like "au" and "eu"). By breaking words down in syllables, students begin to discover patterns which makes learning new words easier.

### 4/5 — No sound

*2023-04-16*

Unfortunately no sound, does not make it engaging fir the kids

### 3/5 — No sound

*2021-01-20, version 1.03*

It has an option for sound effects to be on, but there are none. The game is completely silent. Great for quiet time, not great for actually learning how to say the words.

A mis hijos les encanta el i spy cada vez que completan sus palabras en el crucigrama, aprenden y juegan a la vez. Pienso que aprendiendo español con sílabas es muy efectivo. En general pienso que es muy entretenido y educativo...
