"My daughter loves using Wordsmart. The games are easy enough for her to use and understand mostly on her own and she really enjoys working her way through the letter sounds to move on to the next world!
It has definitely helped with her confidence and has been a great tool during lockdown and learning from home. Totally recommend this app." - Google Play Store
