Community Review for Montessori Crosswords
My Take
Montessori Crosswords allows students to use the convenience of a touch screen App
to use letter sounds and phonics to spell words. I would recommend this App to parents who want their child using electronics to learn.
How I Use It
I like this App as a teaching tool as students need to manipulate letters to spell. I use letter tiles in the classroom but we spend too much time cleaning them up and arranging them! This App allows students to spell and focus on the phonemes and letters.

Great app for literacy in kindergarten.
This app is great for word building. I love using it in my kindergarten classroom. The self-correcting feature enables my students to use it without my help.

Increase awareness of letter-sound correspondence and how it relates to spelling.
A very well done app that is nice to look at, engaging for students, and offers a fun and safe way for students to increase their phonological awareness and connect it with spelling. As a special education and RTI teacher, I especially like apps that are low pressure and promote students taking risks without fear of failure while still achieving learning. I feel like this app accomplishes both of those things. Students are able to get sound "clues" by tapping on letter tiles, there are picture "clues" offered as well, and, if they get really stuck, the missing words are provided for them to then copy by dragging the appropriate letter tiles into the blank squares. I also like that it works well for a variety of grade levels and can be used for at-grade level practice as well as for remedial practice for students who are performing below grade-level or who have learning disabilities.
