Pyxwise is thrilled that Technology In Special Education has taken the time to review two of our Simplex Spelling apps. Below is a snippest from their review of Simplex Spelling - Advanced Phonograms which earned an overall score of 5/5. Bbe sure to check out the full review on the Tech In Ed website.
"This app is great for working on spelling through the use of phonograms (symbols of one or more letters in English that represent a particular sound in speech e.g. "aw" , "ou" and syllabication (dividing a word into its spoken or written syllables). There is a large amount of content available for kids to work on and the setup is done very well. "
Simplex Spelling Phonics 2 Syllables also earned an overall score of 5/5 from Technology In Special Education and you can find the full review here.
"Simplex Spelling Phonics 2 Syllables is almost like having a personal tutor helping you right alongside you to guide you through the lessons. "
"I love all of the phonetic rules that it covers and the app's emphasis on the syllables. One of the best features in my opinion is the "reverse phonics" hints, as it breaks down the words into individual sounds."
"With it being very user-friendly, having up to 40 users at once, and having a focus on high frequency English words, this app is highly recommended to boost any learner's literacy confidence with both spelling as well as reading."
