Spellyfish Phonics A

I love this app as a beginning spelling app. It has a nice little introduction and helps kids with CVC words! Thanks!

I don't know how I missed that this app was only for the 'a' sound words before I purchased it. It's a well done app but I am disappointed that it only has the one vowel sound covered. I imagine the developer will add the other vowel sounds but that means more money and space used on my device.

I bought this app thinking there would be way more levels to advance to. There are only a few short lists of very simple (3 letter) words. For a preschooler it would be ok but don't buy it for anyone older or fast learners.

This is an app that kids will ask to return to over and over again. It's attractive and engaging. It is age appropriate for Pre-K, Kindergarten and 1st grade and would be great for use in the the classroom or as a recommendation for at home practice. It is educationally sound and well done!

This was a great app and with the use of technology within most school districts these days, I think this would be a huge benefit to kindergarten teachers or parents of kindergarten students. The graphics in the app are fantastic. The way in which the jellyfish leads the user through the word knowledge is incredible. The letters, when sounded out, help to solidify simple letter knowledge, which benefits future spelling situations!

This is a great app for emerging readers. It takes some adult involvement to get the settings right as well as to go over the instructions for using the app. Once the spelling begins it is very user friendly for a young child. The word to picture associations are very clear, along with the sounding out of each letter sound by spellyfish. I hope that this app is developed further with the addition of more words and extensions to the learning. <br/>This app is also good for multiple users and saves their progress for easy assessment.

Very boring, does not teach many words.

A good app to actually teach spelling of a particular set of similar words containing the short &quot;a&quot; sound. The approach is methodical and effective. Like the ability to check on a child's progress and understanding of the material. Graphics are appealing and create a friendly scene. But, Mr. Spellyfish needs to be a little less cartoon-wacky.
