Not a significant skill-building activity due to lack of assessment accessibility. A teacher or parent will have to assess the player by looking over the shoulder. There are few challenges that offer word association or writing requirements. However, it does provide an opportunity for mastery of phonological awareness.

It's a one-player game. To assess the player, the teacher (or parent) would need to observe. However, I do believe this could be an activity for the students to have preferred activity time to reward the student from a point system.

The entire app is designed for English Language Learners. One on hand, this provides a game learning experience with attainable goals for the student.

While the app tracks the user's progress, it's not easily monitored. However, I do enjoy the idea that the reader works toward an individualized language learning goal with playful rewards and achievements. Particularly beneficial for students with severe reading difficulties because the app is full of positive reinforcement.

Because the app is designed for English Language Learners. Students with special needs can benefit as well. The basic nature of the questions include word to picture association that students with severe reading difficulty can answer correctly. The visual and kinesthetic learners will enjoy the platform of pictures and touch-screen features.

It is a useful resource as a supplemental activity to instruction. It's hard to determine if the student is making progress without looking over their shoulder. Checking the user's current level is the only way to gather significant data to reteach difficult challenges. It does not appear that there is instant meaning provided when answering, wrong or right. However, most of these questions can be answered on the provided forum,. Again, it relies on the student to self-advocate.
