I received compensation/product in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.
I feel like with each of my kids, school has gotten harder. Not necessary harder for my kids but harder in the sense that the expectations are higher. My daughter is tested daily in math and each time she passes a timed math test she moves up a letter. With reading, she has to be able to do a similar test but in the sense that she has to read an excerpt with her mistakes counted against her. Every day is a test basically.
While I try to help my daughter practice her math and reading at home, I am not always able to give her undivided attention. Luckily there are so many great apps out there that are perfect for keeping kids in line with today’s expectations.
Wonster Words is an app that my daughter has actually been using for a few years now and she continues to use thanks to updates. The app was actually inspired by Sesame Street and has become an award-winning iOS & Android game that helps kids to learn to sound out words. As a parent, I love how Wonster Words makes spelling and phonics fun enough that my daughter has yet to get bored with it!
The award-winning app was designed to help kids learn to sound out word families and 44 of the most common phonemes. The app uses animated letters that kids can listen to and play games with to sound out the phonics, gliding vowels and consonant blends. Once the words are complete, a short animation and mini-game help drill in the letter sounds.
My 7 year old is still learning from this app and now with the new updates of words and stories, she has a lot more to discover. Phonics and spelling is something that really do need to be practiced and this app has been great for her to do that when I can’t help her. The words are simple enough that she can sound them out bur still challenging that she is now practicing spelling and writing them on paper. You do get some stories for free and then if you want more, you can buy them individually or the entire pack.
