Reviews
‘‘ I am absolutely blown away by this spelling technique! As a dyslexic teacher, I know this is going to be absolute gold for my pupils. The best thing I’ve seen in years and I can’t wait to share it with them. Thank you Sir Linkalot for this wonderful gift’’
‘‘This is by far the best app we have downloaded to use for home-schooling. I will definitely buy a subscription afterwards. My son LOVES using it and will choose it over all other activities. He loves the animations and remembers them straightaway. We did a spelling test at the end of the first week and he got 59/60. At school, he would get about 2/10. It is also easy for me as he can work independently. But, then I get jealous when I hear him laughing at all the animations and so I have to come and watch it too! Even his teenage sister is
interested although she pretends she’s not. Who knew that spelling could be so much fun!? ’’
‘‘If any parent is reading this review and wondering whether to give this app a go....DO! I am in no way connected to this app so it’s an entirely impartial review. I feel incredibly grateful that it was made free to access during this time of schooling from home. My 8 year old twins and 5 year old (and even ,my 2 year old!) love it: the humour is pot on but it doesn’t dumb down as the Lady Lexicographer snippets are brilliant and Sir Linkalot uses lots of factual stuff in his links for example geography. I really enjoy doing it with them and learning too! I hope you love it as much as we do!’’
