Simplex Spelling Phonics 3 App Reviews

Simplex Spelling Advanced helps teach the phoneme rules by introducing the rule then providing spelling practice to use the rule. If correctly spelled a barely enthusiastic encouraging word is spoken and printed on the screen. If incorrect spelling one can manipulate the letters or get hints. I found the hints would highly benefit a struggling learner. Specific performance summaries are available for every child you enter into the app. It would be beneficial if one could create their own spelling lists. I also found the app too much like a teacher lecturing to the child. No enthusiasm or graphics throughout the app would lose my students immediately.

This app is worth the money--easy to use, provides much needed practice, and can be used with multiple students. The developers did a nice job with this one!

Overall, this app is outstanding. I am somewhat disappointed by the lack of the -ough cluster in advanced, 1, or 2.

This app is worth the money and does what it says if used consistently. The app gives positive feedback and gives hints until the word is spelled correctly. The pronunciation of words is concise. The "accent" is that of national news broadcasters.
