Why do students need WordWizz?
To write fantastic sentences!
By using WordWizz, the simple sentence “The boy went home.” can become, “The young, adventurous boy ran swiftly towards the abandoned tree house he called home.”

To write amazing stories!
Students can access a wide range of “Better Word” lists to help them replace boring and overused words in their stories. For example, a student who has repeatedly used the word ‘said’ in a story, might look up the ‘Better Words” category to find 271 alternatives e.g “groaned, shouted, laughed or whispered.”

To improve the quality of reports or assignment writing in all subject areas – without teacher or parent help!
There are many word lists containing curriculum content for all key-learning areas. For example, if children are asked to write an explanation of “The Water Cycle” in science, they simply need to click on that topic in the Level 2 “Science” category and they will find all the words they’ll need – E.g. Evaporation, water, condensation, absorb

To make it easy for students with Dyslexia or other Language-based literacy difficulties to read and spell a huge variety of words!
Finding the best words is fast and easy – just look for the topic you’re writing about! If reading is difficult, tap on any word to hear it read out loud.

To provide students with easy access to amazing vocabulary if they are learning to speak English.
Extensive lists of words are available for a huge range of topics. Students can easily access pictures and definitions of unknown words by using the tap and hold menu on the iPad. Dictionaries for many different languages can be downloaded to your iPad so you see the definitions in your own native language.

To check that all those tricky words have been spelt correctly!
If students don’t know how to spell a word, they can find it super fast! For example, if they can’t remember how to spell “aunt” they simply click on the “Family” category in level 1 and find the word. The word can then be copied and pasted directly into their writing.
