Word Wizard for Kids review

Word Wizard for Kids suits younger spellers who learn by moving letters around. Its talking movable alphabet speaks any word or sentence a child builds, using letter sounds or names, and that same board drives three spelling activities of rising difficulty: Word Practice, Scrambled Letters and Spelling Quizzes. The quiz will not move to the next word until the current one is spelled correctly, and hints are there if a child is stuck. The app ships with 200 word lists, about 2,000 words including Dolch words and the 1,000 most frequent words, and you can add your own lists with pictures. It supports unlimited users and exports per-user spelling test reports as PDF. It costs $12.99 once on the US App Store with no subscription. The tradeoff is that it feels more like a learning tool than an arcade game. We compared documented features and published prices only.
