What parents say about our apps:
*** 5 stars! Brilliant! An app that understands how kids actually learn. Thank you!
*** 5 stars! Wow, my Grade 2 son wasnt confident with some of these words. I am glad I started him with the first app in the series.
Children who struggle at school often dont understand what they are asked to do. They dont know the meaning of the words that the teachers use.
School Words 1 teaches the key vocabulary needed to succeed in Grade 1 and above. Fun activities guide the players through the 4 key stages of learning from recognition through to using the word appropriately in context (most apps miss this step!)
