I have kids ages 9, 6, & 2. Ive been looking for tool that will help in teaching my kids Spanish. Its important in learning the phonics associated with each letter and this application does a great job, in fact in may be one of the best for what it does. There are pre-defined spelling list but then you can also create your own. Most of the program is highly customizable which is often an issue with so many other apps. Kids are also rewarded with another fun side activity after completing a spelling test. The app was so great that I also bought the English version in order to practice our spelling words. Even though this app was made for kids, I also enjoy using it as well to work on my Spanish grammar. If you are learning Spanish its a great app for your collection.

Great tool for teaching kids Spanish!
The best app to teach phonics in Spanish
I love this app. I am using it with my bilingual 1st grade class. It is awesome because I can create my own spelling list. My students love to use this app because it helps them practice the spelling of each word. Their grades have improved since we started using it. I wish that when I create my spelling list, I could it could be saved in all of my devices but any away I love it even though I have to create each list one at a time. Thank you so much
