About this app

Simplex Spelling improves English spelling and reading skills in a fun and interactive way by combining a unique “reverse phonics” approach with contextually relevant spelling rules that explain why words are spelled in a particular manner. It works like a personal spelling coach with every word. Simplex Spelling HD teaches the Dolch sight words to establish a base foundation in spelling and reading fluency. Please check out the word lists on our website before purchasing to ensure they meet your learning requirements http://www.pyxwise.com/sswordlists.html Rather than using flash cards, Simplex Spelling enables the student to build each word.
