Hard words are easier when you break them into syllables. In Syllable Word Search, kids find syllables on a board and put them together to build real English words, while they join Spike, the space explorer, on 27 missions across the planets. *** 2015 Academics' Choice Award – Smart Media Winner *** HOW TO PLAY Each mission shows a board of syllable cards and a list of words to find. Tap the syllables of each word to build it. Get it right and the cards disappear; get it wrong and they flip back. Clear the board to finish the mission and win up to 3 stars. 27 MISSIONS THAT GET HARDER The first missions are simple: short words, small boards and green hint cards that show which syllable comes next. As you move ahead, Spike adds new challenges: * Syllables must be picked in order, from first to last. * A limited number of moves for the whole board. * A time limit for the board, or a few seconds per word. * Cards that can only be turned a few times before they burn up. * Repeated syllables on the board, so you have to read carefully. * Bigger boards and longer words, from 2 up to 6 syllables. CREATE YOUR OWN MISSION Pick a planet (word theme) and set your own rules: syllable order, hints, repeated syllables, moves, flips per card, and time limits. Or start from a ready-made challenge: Hyperspace, Dangerous or Black Hole. WHAT KIDS PRACTICE * Breaking words into syllables (phonological awareness) * Phonics, spelling and decoding of longer words * Reading and vocabulary with 3,700+ English words in 14 themes: animals, food, people, places, school, sports, nature, transportation and more * Visual memory and attention MADE FOR EVERY READER * Hear each word read aloud with a US, UK, Australian, Irish or South African English voice. * Choose the card font: OpenDyslexic, designed for readers with dyslexia, or Futura. * Show the word whole or split into syllables (ex-am-ple) with one tap. * Menus in English or Spanish. FOR PARENTS AND TEACHERS Great for elementary school, reading intervention, ESL/ELL classes, homeschool and learning centers. * No third-party ads. * Works offline. * Purchases and settings are protected by a parental gate. * Track progress with stars per mission and a top-10 records board.
