LanguageScreen vs Morphs Spelling Game

LanguageScreen enables education professionals to assess young children’s oral language skills accurately and quickly. LanguageScreen is the product of extensive research by a team at the University of Oxford. LanguageScreen assesses four components of oral language skills by guiding the examiner through a series of activities. In these activities the child is presented with pictures and sound clips and is asked to perform simple tasks. Depending on the activity, the app either directly records the child’s responses, or the examiner’s scoring of their responses. Assessment data is uploaded to oxedandassessment.com which generates individual and class assessment reports. In order to use LanguageScreen a school must register for a free trial on oxedandassessment.com.

Morphs is an adventure spelling game set after Professor Grubwell's Shrink-o-Tron accidentally shrinks humanity to microscopic size. People now live underground, among roots, rust, and towering insects, in a new home called the Colony. Children play as Morphs—young explorers and builders who gather resources, explore their surroundings, and help the Colony grow stronger. Progress is powered by spelling. Each level teaches a specific morpheme (for example, “ment”) through a short tutorial video, before children apply their knowledge in gameplay to earn resources, customise their character, build their base, and defend against giant bugs. A Grammarsaurus subscription is required to play the game. Login details are typically provided by your school or teacher, but a subscription can also be purchased directly by a parent or other adult.
