User reviews

I like it!

Just the type of repetition my students need. I have another app that also utilizes music I think that would be helpful to add

Great App

My kids can easily learn core vocabulary words. As language learners, the visual cues help them understand in a more natural setting. They love it!

Lots of variety to learn!

This is a fun app and the levels start out really easy and build up quickly. The beginning level offers picture clues and the more advanced levels require reading skills to match definitions to a vocab word. I love how it offers a sentence with a word missing and you have to pick the best word to fit the sentence. I wish it had more vocab words and that it was geared for older elementary students. Otherwise it is a great app for younger students!

B

I like the concept of targeting key assessment concepts. There are visuals to match the vocab. Beginning concepts include vocabulary such as locate, describe, copy, etc. Students have the opportunity to earn coins and have two different methods in which to enjoy their rewards. I wonder if there was too much repetition at each level, or not enough variation. This made it feel a little tedious. It would be nice to know all of the concepts covered before deciding to buy.

Sequential development

Really enjoyed this app. The vocab is appropriate for the age range and what is being required at schools and it is taught in a manner that is easy for kids to grasp. It is sequential and repetitive with increasing complexity on each level.
