I use it at work and the game is loved so much it is chosen for reward time. Teaches spelling and typing while the children don't realise. – Tina Tortoise These apps are amazing. I teach 5-6 year olds and they are top notch for developing areas a child struggling to read and spell will be weak in. – Mummy toot
