Latest reviews of Happi Spells app for iPhone and iPad
This game reminds me of Scrabble Junior that I played when I was a child. I like that you can turn on and off the hints (grey outline of the letter within the crossword). There is auditory feedback once you complete a word.
Love the crossword setup, just wish the images and letters were bigger.
The kids in my class enjoy this app. I like that the picture helps them spell and that they need to search for the words! They feel like big kids because of the format so it is engaging.
Happi Spells allows players to practice their spelling skills in a crossword puzzle format. The player drags a letter tile to the area in the puzzle; the letter stays in the square when placed correctly, or pops out with an auditory cue that it was incorrect, and the player can try again. As each word is spelled correctly, the word is read aloud. It is very intuitive with great graphics. This would be a fun and different way to practice spelling.
Kids loved the crossword format as a way to practice their spelling. Nice to have uppercase/lowercase, too!
