Great app

My 20mo old loves it. It's great way to teach letters. Not over run with ads, so it gave my baby enough time to really get the hang of it, then she loved it so much, I bought the full version. Well worth it! I'd add some puzzle activities or something interactive using the word, just to show variations but it's still a great app.

Teacher & Mom of 3

Learning writing and reading -especially in English- relies on understanding of phonics and how they work together to form words. - Spelling "si" "ai" "ti" = cat is NOT helpful to relay this skill to beginning readers!
App producers who have not understood this basic fact & requirement for successful teaching of reading and writing are not trustworthy.

Besides that, "completed" is misspelled in settings. - And this app wants to teach spelling??

But, most annoyingly, this app is overlayed by an ad solicitation to buy other apps - in a way that makes it impossible to have kids try it without being led to the app store every 2 seconds. - Completely WORTHLESS!
