Simplex Spelling Phonics 1 App Reviews

This is a great application with intricate detail. There are multiple facets that are provided to maximize the success rate. Data collection is a possibility; however, it does not track by date or number of words. Encouraging terms are used throughout for added motivation. Only one user can be selected at a time, so the possibility of group play is eliminated. There is a "lesson" provided and hints allowed. I would recommend this app!

This is grate for my childrens and good tool for help them to spell..! Thank for this app..!

This is a wonderful app for someone just learning to spell. I can already see my beginning speller (five-year-old) improving by leaps and bounds after just a handful of lessons. I cant wait to see what she can do after going through the whole program. It really is a tremendous amount of content for a relatively low price.

Great phonemic awareness app. I come from a grad program that lays a huge emphasis on literacy and the scope of a SLP in that area and this is definitely one of my top recommendations to my fellow classmates and clinic supervisors. Ability to customize nd multiusers would be great. i know other apps out there have thse abilitites :) if i wasnt comparing it would be a 5!

I have all the Simplex Phonics apps and think they are a great resource for any learner, but also learners with special needs. The way of breaking down components of a word with color coding etc. is very useful, as well as the clear audio for auditory feedback too. This is not a "game" as one reviewer was disappointed to find out- it is a tool. There are other spelling games that may be helpful but this tool helps the child learn the rules first, then you can reinforce through other methods.

This is app is based on very sound theory and works well as a supplement to my literacy curriculum. In fact, I am considering using these lists as my spelling lists for next year. I love the fact that it teaches students just as i would if i could just sit next to them all the time. However, there are a few tweaks Id like to see. First, Id like there to be an option for the app to force students to master one list before going on to the next. Monitoring this while teaching other small groups is challenging. Second, Id like to see the app open to each students current list rather than defaulting back to the intro list. Third, Id like to see the student names be a bit larger/more obvious while in the lessons. Several times Ive had a student master a spelling list...on someone elses account.

It is an awesome program. The word list is great. The only thang I could see that might be an improvement is for you to be Able to put words in to a sentence by the right spelling. I really recommend this to any age even adults it is very helpful..Thanks

Not worth the money. I will definitely only pay for apps by preview from now on. If this was free, it would still just be slightly decent. As a certified elementary teacher, I am disappointed with this product.

This app is so awesom

I purchased this program with an open mind, however it has surprised me! The methods and approach is great! Its easy to use and great at referring back to the rules for sounds. I would suggest it to anyone! The level 2 one has a few features that should be carried over like making scores visible! I would like to see a report after each word list! Showing which ones were missed and all would be great! That way we could leave it to the kid to go about it, and know weather hes actually doing it correct! Overall its amazing! Its competent worth the money and gets the kids interested! Would love to see some improvements, however its not bad at all! 5 stars if it has a little more features for the kids, like sounding out the word with them, and if it has a report after each list!

My second grader needs help with spelling and this program is helping him. It catches him as he is making an error and he is able to think about it again and correct himself. The app keeps track of the words he has missed; it allows the parent to go back and look at the words he has mastered and the words he is still struggling with. I like the systematic phonics instruction which helps him understand the rules of spelling. I cant say enough about this app. I am teaching my son using other phonics books and internet program but Im finding this one to be the best.
