Word Farm Adventure

What is Word Farm Adventure?

Word Farm Adventure is an app that has been designed to help children practice and expand their abilities in a number of different literacy elements through playing a crossword based game. Users will find their spelling and reading abilities are developed as they progress through the app. Due to what the user is being asked to do there does need to be a certain level of ability that can be built upon rather than the app being used by those who are just learning to read and spell.

What we love about Word Farm Adventure

What I really like about Word Farm Adventure how much fun the app is to use and play. The game itself is a lot of fun to play but alongside the graphics and the story that runs throughout it is extremely engaging. There is enough gameplay to challenge the user and help them to improve their spelling and reading but the extra challenge is to complete the levels to progress the story. This engagement will mean that users will want to come back time and again to the app thus continuing to help them improve in the reading and spelling.

What skills does it improve?

Word Farm Adventure app allows users to develop their language and reading skills. As the game relies on users having to spell words its main focus is really on improving students’ spelling abilities. However, through the use of the app students’ comprehension abilities are potentially also improved.

What age is it appropriate for?

Word Farm Adventure is aimed at children who already have a certain level of ability when it comes to being able to read. I would therefore suggest that users over the age or 6 would be able to access the app and those around 8 would benefit the most from it. However, that doesn’t mean older students won’t be able to access it or get a lot from playing it.

Is Word Farm Adventure easy to use?

For both the learner and the parent the app is incredibly easy to use and access.

How will students benefit?

Children will benefit from having such a wide range of content that focussing on all the main areas on becoming more literate, a better reader and being able to know and use a wider range of vocabulary and being more confident in their spelling.

How will teachers benefit?

Teachers can benefit from knowing that children will have this better understanding of reading, spelling etc. Teachers could set a certain amount of using the app to compliment any in lesson learning.

How will parents benefit?

Parents, especially if they encourage their child to use the app will be able to see them expanding and strengthening their ability when it comes to spelling and reading as well their children’s comprehension skills and their working memory.

What Word Farm Adventure can improve on?

There aren’t really any things that I could say that the app needs to improve upon and anything is really being a bit ‘not-picky’ however the one area that would really make this app excel would be to maybe have some sort of tracking and also for the developer to produce more apps of this type!
