Wonderful and interactive way to get your kids to learn and USE new vocabulary words!

I think it is an awesome teaching tool that i am gladly adding to my arsenal. It kept students engaged in learning and the words that are on the APP are everyday words. I like how it had audio and visual aspects to it to draw in the students. it can help my teaching because students will always have something to do besides silent reading when they finish an assignment early and it is something different for them to do besides SSR.

WWP works with a great list of Tier 2 words that struggling readers and ELL can benefit from learning in context. I think the storyline about the pet was a bit tacky, but I can tell the animation and graphics were an approach to appeal to an older student audience (Grades 4-8). I liked that the program presented the words to the students so they could listen and learn, and then multiple activities to work on synonym, antonym and matching word meanings in context.

I think this app is wonderful! Teaching the nuances of vocabulary can be a struggle at the elementary level, and this app provides a multitude of ways to interact with terms listed. My only critique would be for updated versions to include a speaker icon to read each word's definition. I like how the app self-corrects a students when they answer a word incorrectly (by popping up the word and its definition), and I love the activity that requires students to apply the vocabulary word to answer a question (great critical thinking practice!) Overall, I would highly recommend this app for classroom or home use.
