Star Speller is fun and effective

Star Speller's simple and intuitive interface sets it apart from the rest. The lively voice prompts keep my kids engaged without coming across as condescending. Unlike many of the other spelling apps available Star Speller is not slowed down with a bunch of annoying steps and useless commands. Kids are able to jump right in and get to work on the fun and effective spelling drills.

I really like the fact that the word lists are compiled by teachers and actually used in schools. And, with 30 different levels both my kindergartener and 2nd grader can work at their own pace with plenty of room to grow and improve without getting bored.

The voice commands are clear fun with awesome encouragements a like, "I smell a genius!".

The bottom line - my kids use this app and their spelling has improved!

Great app!!

This is a great app my kids absolutely love it I catch them spending hours using it I have three kids and even my 10-year-old likes it.

Great Game!

My second grader really enjoyed playing this game - I was surprised how much he was into it! While the initial levels were a bit easy for him, the later levels were just about right. I didn't think a spelling game would be something he would spend so much time with! Definitely recommend.

Star Speller is easy to use and effective!

Star Speller is a really effective spelling app because of the way it teaches and tests the kids. The visuals, menu, buttons, are laid simply and intuitively so the user concentrates purely on the learning instead of figuring out how to use the app. It also provides voice over instructions every step of the way to further help its users. The narrator’s voice is clear and well-enunciated which is a big plus!

Star Speller is a very effective learning and game app that will help your kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd graders to improve their spelling. The app features teacher-developed content that will help children progress while at school or at home.

This app promotes confidence!

My 1st grader was having trouble with confidence in his spelling. We used this app all weekend and he's already more confident about his spelling skills. The app is easy to use and fun. He's picking up my phone and initiating playing the spelling and reading games on his own and he's got a big smile when the app says "you rock"!

I recommend this app to anyone that wants their youngster to be a better speller and reader.
