Great Spelling App

I love that you can create your own word lists. One improvement would be to enable use of lower and upper case letters in the same word so children can practice spelling their name.

Hello, you can do that. When adding a word, just spell it with a capital letter at the beginning. Also, check in the settings that capitalization is not being forced to uppercase or lowercase. Contact us at support@lescapadou.com for any help.

Love the app. Great for spelling and phonics practice. I was searching for movable letter tiles but this one is the best so far since it not only moves the tiles but gives you the phonic sound. Highly recommend this app.

Not good

Hard to navigate- doesnt include pictures of most words (you have to add them yourself) and keeps freezing. Not worth the $7.99!!

Special needs child

My daughter is verbal but cannot make her needs known for her day to day activities. Plus she is so quiet that you have to stand right in front of her mouth. She uses this app everyday stop let me know what she is thinking. I don’t know where I would be without this app. I’ve downloaded other like it but she always comes back to this one! Thank you to the creators❤️

Thanks for the taking the time to write this review. We're really happy that our app helps the communication with your daughter.

Great tool to support learning

As a pediatric OT working in a school setting I use and recommend this app often. It allows for several levels of support so it grows with your child as they learn. I love that I can make my own word list. This feature has supported me in helping kids learn how to spell their own name all the way up to using it for weekly spelling practice.

Words of Gratitude

I am so grateful for this App. I used it for my first son who has Autism . The app was a true confidence builder . The added features for speed , voice tone , colors , drag and pull were helpful collaboratively to engage him . I didn’t hesitate to use it for my 2nd son also with Autism . Now 13 and 10 , I still use it opposed to just saying words for them . I use another app that allows me to make our own list of words for spelling test etc however this App will always be held with the highest esteem for phonics and our strong foundation . I refer parents to it all the time .
Best Regards

Response from developer

Hello, In the talking movable alphabet activity, children can experiment with word building freely and it helps them to understand how word building works (In the settings, you can disable some letters if you want). In the three spelling activities, children have to write a specific word. Please contact us at support@lescapadou.com if you need more help.

100s on spelling tests

Every week, my son brings home a list of words for his Friday spelling tests. I make a list on this app, and he practices each night, starting with the easiest setting on Monday to the more challenging settings by Wednesday. He always gets perfect scores on his tests. He has autism, and doesn’t like to study with me, but if it’s on a computer, he loves it. THANK YOU for this app!

Word Wizard

This is truly a dream come true app. I teach students from grades 2-7th grades with learning difficulties spelling. This program has helped students learn to spell and boost their confidence and grades. Students use the iPad while wearing earbuds, so I can have a full class working with no with interruptions from others. Students with writing difficulties appreciate working on the iPad in place of trying to print or cursive words that are already difficult to spell let alone write out. So using the iPad allows them to find success. I export the lists from my iPad and import them onto my students iPads. When I ad the spelling lists, I also ad a test. Grades have really gone up after using this app. I think this is my 4th year of using it and Pierre is wonderful to communicate with. He’s very helpful.

Doesn’t work

This app only allows a few words before it breaks, switching to the word “oops” and not allowing any further words. I’m quite annoyed that I paid for this.

Hello, did you succeed in disabling the profanity remover to fix your issue? If so, we would be grateful that you update your rating (it's very important for us). Thanks! Reminder: when profanity is written, we replace the word by "oops" but you should be able to continue word building - Contact us at support@lescapadou.com for more help. Note that you can disable this profanity remover in the settings: gear icon -> more settings -> profanity remover (at the bottom of all settings).

My son loves this app

Been looking for an app that is simple for my son to start learning words. This app is great! My son loves forming words. It is also very useful teaching him to read by creating our own set of words. Thanks!

Boring for younger kids

It's a well thought out app but lacks playfulness and whimsy. My toddler (who is beginning to read and write) did two exercises and got bored after the dry "spell this, spell that" commands. Still it seems like a very promising app for older kids.

Exceptions

I love this app and have been using it for years but recently I can’t get my exceptions to work for me. They pronounce the words I want them to when I set it up but when I get to the grid, it goes back to the original pronunciation.
5/22/2019 UPDATE
Developer reached out to me and fixed the problem! An awesome app with awesome customer service to go with it! Thank you!

Best app in its category for all ages and abilities

LOVE IT

My kid loves it, I love it. He can independently practice his spelling words, makes homeschooling day easier.

A much needed program

I have been looking desperately for a program to teach my special needs granddaughter how to read. The movable letters help with identification and sounding out the letters. It is so much easier now to demonstrate word and sentence construction. The child sees in real time how we communicate with letters that magically make words.

Superb

This company has two major apps that I absolutely love. Extremely well thought out. Are used them in my classes and for me it may be easy best way to help students understand the sound system and to truly spell. I cannot recommend this app highly enough for parents, teachers, anyone wants to learn the sound system and to really spell. I also command of the company on the beautiful accent. It is authentic.
