Ratings and Reviews
Almost Perfect!
What We Liked:
Word Wagon is a fast favorite of my five-year-old and even my three-year-old likes to take the red wagon out for a spin! The playfulness of this app is found in the character interactivity, when tapped they say several different things – many humorous, and Moz can even put on special shoes that make him run faster through the available words. The fluid, child friendly navigation means that children feel entirely in control of the learning experience. They can change the topic their words come from, they can have Moz run past any words they don’t wish to spell There is no list of words they MUST conquer, instead this is a playful, friendly exploration of spelling that is very developmentally appropriate.
The colors and characters are both charming and engaging – this is one app whose play value just never seems to run out!
What We Didn’t Like:
Word Wagon is only a half-step away from being perfect for children just being introduced to words in my opinion. I like that there is a phonics component built into this app, but it would be perfect if on the phonics level (level 2), the letters would actually prompt Coco to say their phonetic sounds when tapped rather than their names. That would make the connection between phonemes and spelling with them a lot clearer.
Overall:
Word Wagon HD is a fun and playful introduction to words and how letters come together to form them. Ideal for familiarizing young children with the names of many common objects and their spellings, this educational app is one your children will count as a favorite.
