Thpeech,
Express
I gave this app 3 stars because while it has potential, I found that saying a vowel in correctly does not help but only hinder a child's learning. The "u" sound when seen as an isolated sound as in "truck" does not say "oo" as in "too," so why pose it as such? I know it is difficult for developers to produce these unique sounds, but the vowels are actually the most important part of a word. When we teach children with apraxia we start and shape the vowels. We don't work on consonants first. Maybe if you could add different "u's" with lip postures, that would be helpful. I just found it annoying that "truck" would actually be "trook" and it will confuse a child who is just learning how all the sounds fit together for reading.
swfv jnn,
No sound ???
Tried everything… no sound
siimplyely,
Can’t get voice to record
Paid the extra money to customize list and record my kids spelling words but it doesn’t work....:/
mmefickley,
Frustrated
I paid for the ability to create my own list but it doesn’t work because you can’t hear the recorded word. How do I get a refund?
Marija011,
Fun and useful free spelling app
Thumbs up!
Fiercely independent,
Produces sounds incorrectly
Example: the phonemes for “think” are not /th/, /i/, /n/, and /k/.
The app also sometimes produces vowels in a very clipped and auditorily distorted fashion.

Frances Amato,
Great Spelling App!
This spelling app is amazing with early learners. Students learn the letters in a word, letter placement and positioning, sounds of the word, the word itself and then the spelling. It really takes you through the concrete steps of early development learning. I have used it with a four year old whose second language is English. She had fun and started to pick it up right away. Also, I used it with my friends children and they loved it. Ages two, four and eight got a kick out of playing. They were self motivated and in a group started teaching themselves. I love it.
One con- Too many in app purchases. Bundle all purchases at a lower fee or set the app to one fair price with all in app purchases included. This is something I feel draws away from this apps true educational value. Also, the buyer feels and sees they got their monies worth or received more value at an acceptable cost.

KArylMow,
Kids love this
My kids love this game and I love that they are getting better with their spelling which was stuck around a 70% all year. The bubbles are great. I can save their spelling lists to this so they are practicing what they are getting tested on. The only thing I have a complaint about is that it doesn't save the settings for each child. One of my kids has 6 spelling words and the other has 12 every week and I have to pick a larger quiz number than each of those so that they
end up doing the same word a few times on the test section, that and after I change the user, I have to remember to go in and change the active spelling list too or my 2nd grader ends up practicing my kindergarteners spelling words. But all in all, a great practice tool.

sevenrox,
great way to learn to read and spell
My 5, 7, and 10 year old enjoy this game. I wondered if the audio prompt to spell a word in "practice" and "test" would be difficult to understand, but I found that as long as the kids did the "learn" first then they pick up on the audio prompt pretty easily. I like how letters and blends are sounded out. It would be great it the kids could build a word themselves and then hear the word they built instead of just being able to build words as prompted. Overall, this is an excellent app to help kids to read and spell. This app is a keeper for our family!

Build a word express
We absolutely LOVE this app! My first grader loves practicing his special sounds and spelling skills, because it is "fun" to him! He thinks he is playing a game. The graphics are awesome, and the voice that speaks the words and sounds is pleasant. My three year old also loves it, and is learning so much by using it! My favorite part of this app is that I can put my first grader's spelling lists in each week, and he can practice spelling them! He likes this so much better than writing the words. Awesome learning tool in our home!
