School SLP
There are so many times when my sessions are cut short because of all the folderol in the school schedules that I use WordUP! as my back-up plan for students working on anything. It's nice to have a set of grade-level words to utilize at the flick of a...well not a switch but a virtual dial.For my students working on speech sound disorders, WordUP! is usually a part of the therapy plan.

My Students & Parents Love WordUp!
I have been using SPELL-Links Word Up! iPad App for over five years and I’m excited to report that my students and parents love SPELL-Links WordUp! I use the WordUp! games at the beginning of sessions and as a quick learning break during our sessions. It’s great for homework. I have parents who are second language learners who have let me know that the games help them as they work with their children. These games build the student’s confidence and provide repeated exposures to sounds and letter patterns in words that they are working on and a great review of what they learned during the school year. It’s an excellent fun way to have some summer review and new learning. My students love to challenge themselves by working on sounds and letter patterns in upper grades and multisyllabic words.

Great warm-up activity
As an SLP, this app has been a wonderful, quick, start to my early literacy-based sessions. My first grade students are quickly engaged with the simplicity of the app (they learned the buttons/options quickly), and they cheer each other when they get an answer right. My older students are even willing to give it a try. I have noticed progress with their auditory perception of sounds and their ability to link sounds and letters. Great app!

Spelling skills booster
I wanted a game for the iPad to boost my son's spelling skills. This app is different than other apps we've tried because it makes my son hear a sound and then pick what letter(s) spell that sound. We have fun with this app and love the sound effects.

We are glad you found WordUP! Thank you for taking time to review the app.
Great Practice!
This is a great tool for my students to practice their word level reading and apply what they know about allowable spellings. It's a fun way for them to really think about how words are spelled. I use this at the end of our tutoring sessions and like that I can customize the words for all the different ages and levels of kids who come to our center for tutoring.
