Word Beach is intellectually engaging for adults and kids! It's addictive and relaxing! I love the beach/island theme. It's a clever way to practice spelling, introduce and review vocabulary, pattern recognition, and build reading fluency in beginning readers.

This app is colorful, addicting and challenging. I liked that my kids could play it with very little frustration because there is no timer, and no points are deducted if you can't get the last word in a good amount of time. It is a free app with ads. It keeps the user engaged and the rewards are gained quickly so the user does not feel as though the game goes on and on. The rewards gained allow users to hop from island to island. My kids who are 7 and 9 like playing the app and I appreciate that they are developing their word recognition and spelling abilities.

This game is great for English as a Second Language (ESL) / English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. It helps with spelling and word pattern recognition, expands vocabulary and verbal reasoning (granted a dictionary function would be helpful), improves working memory, and develops problem-solving skills.
