Word Wizard

Word Wizard (by L'Escapadou), is a fun app I recently acquired. Remember those Speak-and-Spell toys?  Well, this is an updated version of that!  You can play around with the alphabet and make your own words, or you can take spelling tests.  There is a built in word list with all kinds of choices from the Dolch word list, consonant-vowel-consonant words and the 1000 most frequently used words.  You can also make your own lists.  There are plenty of options for settings such as voice features, accessibility features, and specifics for how the program interacts with the user.  I would highly recommend this app for young children and for those with special needs.  I don't recommend this app for hearing impaired (unless they are able to hear and interpret the audio instructions), because they will not be able to hear the voice feature (which is a huge component of this app).
