MDS Phonics vs Snap Spell

Are you parenting a young English learner? Have you tried phonics? We all know that little kids usually get bored when it comes to studying a foreign language. Have you thought of giving up? Yeah, it IS tough! What many people don’t know is that learning phonics provides a solid foundation for your kids to keep learning English. The question is “How to grab their attention?” Like you, we as parents have struggled to make our kids and students learn phonics effectively. You are all too familiar with the frustration and difficulty of this task. The best way that we have found to tackle this problem is by playing simple, fun and engaging games. In addition, we have put together a set of textbooks, workbooks and cards within this app to reinforce the many different ways of learning English. We passionately designed this with the textbook and workbook audio tracks inside the app so that students can study and play all in one place. All the games are directly connected to the 28 units from the textbooks, which can be used in a 41 lesson yearly program. Everything you could want and need in the convenience of one place. We hope from the bottom of our hearts that your kids can enjoy and want to learn English more and more! It doesn’t have to hard anymore, but fun.

Snap Spell is an iPhone spelling-practice app. It turns the weekly spelling list your child brings home (or any English word list) into automatic dictation: each word is read aloud, your child gets time to write it, then the answers are checked and missed words come back for more practice. No ads. Questions parents ask: • Can an app read my child's spelling words aloud so I don't have to? Yes. Auto Dictation (in Practice together) reads each word aloud (1 to 3 times, your choice), pauses 3 to 15 seconds between words so your child can write on paper, and keeps going with the screen locked. Then Check answers lets you mark each word right or wrong. • Can I use the list the teacher sent home? Yes. Scan the printed list, import a photo or screenshot, paste text, or type it in. You can also import PDF, Word, Excel, CSV and text files. Review the list and fix any mistakes before saving. • Can my child practice alone? Yes. In Spell it the app reads each word, your child types the spelling, and it is scored automatically. Rounds are short, and you can retry just the missed words. • Do British and American spellings both count? In Spell it, where your child types the answers, common British and American spellings both count (colour and color). Your school's spelling stays exactly as written. • What happens to the words my child gets wrong? They go into Tricky words and come back on a spaced review schedule until your child gets them right four times in a row. Free users can practice the latest missed words; the full review schedule is part of Pro. Also included: • Apple voices with adjustable speed are free. With Pro: natural voices in American, British and Australian accents (iOS 26 or later, downloaded on demand) • A weekly report for parents: days practiced and words mastered (the hardest-words card is Pro) • With Pro: profiles for each child, printable PDF practice sheets and iCloud backup • Tap any word for a word card with a translation, plus a child-friendly meaning and example sentence for thousands of common words • Add a test day to a list and get a reminder the night before • Teachers can share a list as a Snap Spell word pack, or a link to a PDF, Word or Excel file, that families open in the app Made for weekly school spelling lists, spelling tests, spelling bee prep and ESL/EFL families, and for teachers and tutors who want to practice with real word lists.
