“My 3-year-old will actively choose to play this rather than watch TV now. She loves making the words and then getting to see the little cartoons. It has made a huge difference in a short time.”
“This app has improved his reading so much. He struggled with letter sounds and blending — he rocks now. The turnaround on his grades is amazing.”
“This app taught my son all of his letters and their sounds in one month when he was just 2.5 years old. Now I'm using it for my daughter. I can't recommend this highly enough.”
“Absolutely love this app. I love how I am able to personalize my son's spelling list to the words he is doing in class. Highly recommend Wonster Words.”
“My son has started talking so much since he started using Wonster Words. He absolutely loves it.”
“Our 2-year-old autistic son absolutely loves this app and plays it every day. Just yesterday he found the letter Z on the fridge letter magnets and said ‘Z!’ He only uses about 5 words consistently, so hearing him voluntarily speak a new word and identify a letter was so amazing.”
“As a mother and a speech pathologist, I could not love this app any more. My son, who is also on the spectrum, started reading at the age of three and I think this application helped foster that skill.”
“Just in one month I watched my daughter come from a low reader to at grade level now. She has an A in reading after being in 1st grade one month. She loves this app.”
