does it help with developing spelling skills
1403537
Isabel, while it is primarily for those who can already spell, we use the letters to include our 2 year old. We give her her own selection of letters and while we play, we work with her on what letters shes received, the sound it makes and if she can spell any words. Because they are primarily flash cards, you can make up games using them to include children of many ages to develop their spelling skills. Hope this information helps.

Yes, it really is good at having you look at letters and form them into words. It also helps with math skills since you need to add the point values of each card for your score.

Yes, it definitely does. We use the dictionary quite a bit. It also builds vocabulary, especially in the short word areas. Challenges to a person's spelling of a word, or whether it is a true word make the game more interesting.

I think it does, especially since you can look in the dictionary when it is not your turn. You use mostly short words, and being able to look them up first, you get to learn more two and three letter words

It certainly can. The rules say you can look up words in the dictionary, unless it is your turn. During the first few rounds, everyone learns new two-letter words. As the game progresses, the words tend to lengthen. It's a great game!

Perhaps because the playing is like practicing and learning spelling rules and language patterns such as combinations of consonants with l and r.

I'm not for sure but it did seem like a odd number. But I can say 28 month old grand daughter loves it! It was a great learning tool for her because the cut-outs of the letters in the spelling board helps her find the colored letters. Your money won't be wasted on this buy!

No, it has some games where you type in missing letters though. Hope that helps answer your Question.

As I said, I have found It helpful for jaw tension. While I do not have tongue pushing, I would think anything that helped with jaw tension may also help with mouth and tongue issues. It is worth a try.

Yes, it does help. You have to be consistent with its use. Mine is over 3 yrs old

Yes, but it depends on the level of your two year old. My daughter who was two used it fine. My other daughter when two did not understand it and became frustrated. But when she was three she fully caught on.

I'm pretty sure you can install it on multiple computers. I only tried it on one. While the program ran just fine, I was disappointed with the method of learning so I no longer used it. It focused only on memorizing words and phrases. It didn't focus at all on grammar. Unfortunately, it was a high price to pay just to be disappointed with the program's teaching method.

No, but they are a great learning tool, even for a 2 1/2 year old like my grandson who now knows them all by name, and has fun when asked "what letter is it".

No it doesn't. You will have to walk along with your kid correcting he/her until they learn to drive themselves.

Yes, I have seen a dramatic improvement in vocabulary, pronunciation, and communications. Mi lengua natal es el espanol, y eh aprendido muy rapidamente el ingles.

It certainly helps someone who has to speak softly. I'm not sure how it would filter or improve speech. Good Luck.

Yes several children as well as adults could use this program to learn the basics of spanish, it is most helpful in learning conversational spanish.

No, even though I bought it for my 2 yr old daughter, its a learning and art tool because they can learn letters and numbers as well as be creative

I think so. Basic addition helps, but isn't totally necessary. in fact, this game could probably be a fun way to practice addition.

It is good for learning the spoken language, but virtually nothing on grammar. I wish there was written text to go along with the lessons. Having said that, it has made me more confident to speak German. I have all 5 levels and have stalled out on Level II, but plan to resume lessons soon.

Yes, the pen will read each word if pointed on the word or if you touch a particular icon it can just read the whole story while child listens along without pointing pen to each word. There are also books that are more interactive and pen can be used to quiz kids on material and they have to select answers on page using pen. Its a good tool to bridge gap before getting kids in habit of tablets and video game mode. That said, it may be transitional period of entertainment. We paid for it knowing our younger child will get use out of it next and we weren't ready for older one to have tablet yet before establishing basic reading skills.
