Discount Word Whiz Electronic Flash Cards

Customer Ratings:

To give a little background, my son is 4.5. However, he is more advance in reading, so even though he was under the age requirement, Level 1 was a great fit for him. He did come across words that he didn't recognize, such as par and jot, but this opened the door for us to discuss new words and their meaning. At this time, he doesn't get a lot done in a minute, but there is no set goal that he is required to reach. This allows him to challenge himself by trying to beat his previous record. Being the perfectionist that he is, there are times that he gets frustrated with himself for not doing better than his previous score or selecting the wrong letter. As we always do, we just remind him that its ok if you make mistakes and to just have fun.

So, here is my honest opinion:

Simple to Use Everything you need is right on the front. A switch for changing levels and two buttons for selecting words.

Grows with the Child It offers 3 different levels that increase the length of words as well as difficulty (incorporating blends).

Portable Entertainment It is small and you can take it just about anywhere. It would make a great addition to your travel game collection.

Fun for ALL Ages After the boy went to bed, my husband and I had fun competing against each other to see who could build the most words correctly in 60 seconds.

Overall, this is a great little product. I give it my full recommendation. Parents have countless options for their kids in the "mindless games" category. This is a fun, affordable game that also works the brain.

I bought this for my 8 year old son (who has dyslexia) to help him with his spelling and reading. He has only used it a few times and his biggest issue is that the letter are hard to read. Since he has such a tough time reading the letters, his interest in it is limited at best. I have tried it myself, and the letters are hard to read (black on dark gray background. There is no back light or brightness adjustment on it either.

My grand daughter LOVES this game. She is excellent with cross word puzzles et al (at age 10) and this game was a perfect gift to her. Well packaged and there was no damage. Received earlier than was scheduled by Amazon. Always happy with Amazon and their partners!

Honest reviews on Word Whiz Electronic Flash Cards

I was expecting something a bit more challenging since my son is a struggling reader, as so many students are just passed along. I thought it was more of a phonetic product. I used it for my students in my classroom instead.

This would be a much more useful learn to read/spell machine if it spoke the word you were trying to make. That would make it less fun for adults (of course you can turn the sound off), but as it is, it is more like a guessing, rather than learning, game for my son.
