SuperKids.coms educational software experts have reviewed thousands of programs since 1995. Their teams of parents, teachers, and kids have been exposed to the best, and the well, not-as-good in educational technology. They know what works, and what doesnt, and their word is trusted by a million visitors/month.
Here, in SuperKids Word-of-the-Day for 4th-6th Grade, they have created a deceptively elegant app for the iPhone that can be used for a few minutes at a time while on the go, or in extended sessions to master 365 important words.
This app provides a coordinated drill and game pair that makes expanding your vocabulary easy and fun. Students use interactive flash cards to learn and review, and then practice their knowledge in a game of hangman. These elements activate different learning centers in the brain, and utilize active study and immersive recall techniques to improve memory acquisition and retention.
Special features include:
- definitions, synonyms, and a usage example for each word
- bi-directional learning: words to definitions, definitions to words
- learn in monthly sets
- automatic missed word tracking and review
- high score tracking for each player
- email report card and study review
- game position and status memory
Words included in this app are based on the vocabulary set honed by millions of users of SuperKids.coms online vocabulary tools over the last ten years.
A strong vocabulary is an essential element of understanding and communication. Use this app to give your child the linguistic foundation to achieve their potential, and become a SuperKid at school and beyond.

Latest reviews of 4th - 6th Grade Vocabulary app for iPhone and iPad
This game is really stupid and does not improve your learning abilities at all. WAIST OF MONEY!!!!!!!!!
Omg do not get it okay dont.its a big waste of time,Money, and DONT GET IT!!!!!!!!
For 99 cents, I thought "try it" -- if my 11 year old doesnt like it at least I wont be out much. Turns out to be a very popular app him; hes usually very resistant to learning. Because hes homeschooled, one great feature is the emailing of report. This is nice for documenting when he did the lesson and how well he did. And lessons can be repeated over and over which reinforces the learning. We highly recommend this app.
Great app, but would be perfect if it had pictures to go along with the words to make it more visual! And PLEASE get a vocabulary app for the younger kids, 2nd and 3rd graders!
This is very good application however, I think the flashcards should have the audible word to help the child learn the proper pronunciation of the word.
