Mrs Wordsmith

[sazzleevans]

I was hoping to hear from anyone who has tried this for an opinion on how it's helped at all. Thanks

I got it for my son who is 7. I went for it because he has mild dyslexia and doesn't really read much although his level of reading ability is good. I thought he needed help with vocabulary given the lack of books. He never wants to read and will always choose maths first.

Anyway two weeks in - he's really enjoying it and seems to be registering the words on a deeper level than if he was just reading them. He uses them back to me in conversation (like yesterday he said that something or other was "intoxicating" and he enjoyed using that word and showing that he knew it).

It's expensive obviously but it's nicely designed and he likes the reward tokens that he collects.

So far I'm happy with it.

There was a thread with exactly the same title few months ago.
