Word Wizard for Kids School Ed App Reviews

This is is one of the very best if not the best out there for teaching kids how to read and spell. With auditory feedback at the letter, blend, word, phrase, and sentence level, the support for phonemic awareness is beyond compare. Its valuable to ALL students, whether they attend regular education classes or receive special education supports and services.

This app has horrible pronunciation of words, so unless an adult is with and able to interpret, its not very good. It also does not say numbers correctly. 274 should be read as 2 hundred 74, not 2 hundred and 74.

Had some trouble getting the app to work, but after some re-installs it is working great. This is a fun spelling app. My daughter likes it and wants to spelling because of it. Much better than the other spelling apps weve tried. This is a must have.

Word Wizard is an attractive and colorful app that really draws you in. The Movable Alphabet activity is really fun for kids of all ages and lets kids "play with words" at their own pace. The Spelling Quiz is great for practicing common words and you can even create your own words lists! THIS IS A REALLY BIG UPDATE!!! New activities, voices, keyboards and word list features! A+

Word Wizard is a must have for parents, teachers, and clinicians working to improve a childs ability to write and spell. Its open ended, user friendly, and customizable design insures repeated use. There are so many options to tailor it to an individual childs needs, and it grows with your child. Highly Recommended.

One of the best apps for kids to learn their spelling words

This is really a great app. Highly recommended for children learning to build words. Would like to see a more natural voice, but its easily 5 stars as it is. Really a must have in kinder and 1st grade classrooms.

Great phonics tool. I also love the spelling lists I can create. Definitely worth the money!

I am a Special Education teacher, working with K-1 students. Over the years, I have downloaded over 850 educational apps. Word Wizard is one of a handful I use every day. I love that we can now put in multiple users. Support is wonderful, very fast and responsive. I use the app in two ways. The spelling quiz is very easy to customize and terrific for independent practice at any level. I also use the movable alphabet for kids during reading time. If they cant remember a difficult word or a name, we just type it in and kids can touch it as often as they like. If kids come to a word they dont know, they type in a few letters, or the whole word, and are able to keep on reading without asking for adult help. An outstanding app that just gets better with every update!
