Comments:

• Highest level word building is high level
• When building words, can see what the word would look like before making a selection
• Vast selection of exercises covering a very wide ability range.
• Paragraph level reading includes high level inference exercises
• Spelling includes exercises with phonemic chunks which can be confusing

N.B:
    Distractors aren’t always visual, phonemic or semantic
    Some people may find some line drawings confusing
    All spelling exercises are based on anagrams. There are no exercises for generating whole word spelling
    British accent
