I just downloaded this for my two girls and they love it. They say it’s fun learning and that’s what counts for me. My girls spelling has increased already.

My son is 3 and he loves this game. I don't mind him having a little screen time if it's helping him learn his letter and developing his reading skills. He gets to have fun, and I think he's learning, too. Money well spent, in my opinion.

I downloaded this game and when it gets to 85% load it shuts off. Can't get it to work. Very disappointed and so is my child.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good App to Reinforce Reading Skills
Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2017
This app provides a lot of sight word recognition and fine motor skills. From what I saw so far, the app has the user select from three choices the most appropriate word to complete the sentence related to the onscreen story, then it moves on to selecting component letters of words and finally using a finger to write or trace letters.
