Most Helpful Reviews

Spelling Shed

Shannon, Parent: It is good for me to play
Samantha Browster , Teaching Assistant : Excellent interface for children making spelling fun and challenging
Sophie Burns , Teacher: I like how much it engages the pupils. The competitive element has boosted the morale of many of my pupils with dyslexia and the repetitiveness has really helped them.
