Spelling 1-2 at Mac App Store analyse

A G-R-E-A-T app to help good spellers become great spellers and struggling spellers succeed. This fantastic software includes over 2,000 first and second grade level words, plus personal spelling lists that can be added while they play. Download this app, and send children on a magical journey under the sea where their spelling success will be rewarded with creative fun. With School Zones Spelling 1-2 app, kids get three games in one. In the Sunken Ships Galley Game, they learn to spell by seeing the word, hearing it, and then typing it. Kids unscramble words by rearranging the letters in the Coral Reef Game, and in Neptunes Cave Game, they choose the correct spelling from a number of misspelled versions. Each unique game helps sharpen spelling skills at every level. To make the game more fun and to motivate young spellers, each game offers cool collectables. As children successfully spell words, they release trapped fish and earn prizes. After a fish is released, it goes to live in the Tropical Lagoon. Children use the prizes they earn to decorate the lagoon, creating a special place for the fish to live. Its a virtual aquarium.

Parents, say goodbye to last-minute cramming for the weekly school spelling tests. Add your childs words to Spelling 1-2 and those words will show up in each of the underwater games. Kids will relax and enjoy the fun of practicing their spelling words all week long.

7 yr old loves this game

• ☆☆☆☆☆   Deragonpapillons 13 years ago

My 7 year loves this game! It has helped her with her weekly spelling words. (which you can type in each week). Colorful characters sing and dance when they get 5 words correct and there are many prizes to help them want to get them all right. I hope they come out with a game for addition and subtraction, and then multiplication and division. Great game!

Good, but could be great.

My 1st grader really likes using this to help with spelling words for each week and it seems to have improved their spelling. It could be fantastic wiith the ability to store each weeks word and better tracking. It would be worth the $10 if these were added.

Need to update written words

• ☆☆☆☆☆   First Sergeant 13 years ago

This program is good but needs to update the personal word list to input more than 20 words. It should be customized to the user. The created word list I created with my daughters school list, does not show up in the game.

No contractions

My son likes to play this game but he sometimes gets words from schopol with hyphens and contractions. There is no way to enter special characters. This is very frustrating for me since this does cost a lot of money for what it does.

Great!

This App is great! My 3rd grader spends hours on it with no complaints. :-) I love how he can use his spelling list from school.

Best $10 Ive spent on homeschooling my boys! Thanks for a great App!

Kids love it!

It fits in perfect with our homeschool curriculum because you can make your own custom spelling list which I think 20 at a time is perfect. My first and second grader love it!
