A FULL GAME EXPERIENCE -
Word Tag is not only an everyday collection of learning games, spelling or reading games like other learning apps. It is a fully featured 3D action platformer game worth playing that will improve English speaking skills helping with grammar, pronunciation, from everyday to advanced English vocabulary. Whether learners are just starting to learn the English ABC’s and want to learn to read, or want to study English as a supplement to class or school, Word Tag is a valuable tool for either classroom learning, family learning, kids or adult learners.

QUALITY SCREEN TIME -
Quality screen time is more than just learning. It's about engaging with the taught material through play and games. As the player becomes a master in artistry by collecting words to color the world, confidence is additionally built in reading, definitions, meanings and grammar, spelling mastery as well as pronunciation and oracy. It's a gamified feedback loop of rewarding and gratification that is seamlessly intertwined with concepts such as word study, syllables, spelling, collocations, synonyms, sentences and context. Word Tag is the ideal language learning quiz and vocabulary learning companion. It might look like just play, but it's also a scientifically proven learning tool. The award-winning team at Mrs Wordsmith brought in literacy experts and teachers to embed the right pedagogy in the game and help produce Word Tag’s unique game-based learning approach.

PROVEN RESULTS -
Spaced Repetition is the most effective way to learn new words. It works by repeatedly exposing the same word over a series of short, focused learning sessions, to ensure vocabulary is stored in long-term memory and, ultimately, to improve reading comprehension. The order of the word games in Word Tag is thus carefully scaffolded, with each minigame building a deeper understanding of a word, which in turn helps with reading, speaking and writing the English language.

LEARNING THROUGH PLAY -
Games engage our attention because they are hands-on experiences. When we are engaged, we learn better. Stanford Research shows that information presented in a game is more likely to be learned than the same information presented in a book. As the player explores Word Tag’s large, beautiful 3D world and customizes their character through gameplay, they're armed with interactive flashcards and build their personal dictionary. They engage with daily vocabulary challenges and a daily quiz, reinforcing learning through consistent practice.

Combining Spaced Repetition with games and play, Word Tag is utilizing the most effective pillar of the Science of Reading framework for retaining knowledge: By spacing out bite-sized chunks of learning between fun and engaging gameplay.

Ratings and reviews

for a kid focused MMO to learn words, pretty good. it starts in portrait mode, it plays in landscape. you cannot rotate the landscape to the other side, important if your phone is easier to hold one way than the other. not the target audience so cannot deduct too much. it is in the store though, so everyone is the audience. anyhow. for someone looking for a fun little game to learn words, pretty good.

Child likes the game the characters and the objectives. However, from the paying parent, the game will only let my child answer 3 questions? Is this the norm? Also, does not read the questions to people with reading difficulties?? While now I read that they want to limit word retention; my on spectrum kid really likes to hyper focus on something for long periods and is not the type to revisit every day. They could improve things. I am also not sure how many times I signed for this game??

My daughter is really engaged by the game and despite being an avid reader, is still challenged by the vocabulary and context in the game. Really happy with this option for her to be introduced to gaming while still learning.

The Winter Wonderland has closed its ornate gates. As a final holiday gift, all excess candy will be converted into coins.

We’ve also made some under-the-hood improvements and squashed a few bugs.
