WordGirl Superhero Training

What it is and what you do with it: a set of 4 vocabulary building mini-games (30 levels each game) based on the WordGirl TV series.

Complete the games to earn pieces of gear to customize your superhero avatar.

Each of the games concentrates a different vocabulary problem : usage of specific and detailed words to describe everyday objects, relationships between sets of vocabulary, prepositions and sequential language and synonyms.

What we liked: the concept (learning through play). Good educational value/broad range of vocabulary topics covered. Original illustrations and animations. Humor and fun factor. Narration and spoken instructions. Sounds and sound backgrounds. Multiple students accounts with progress reporting feature. Overall quality of the app.

What we didn't like: the reward system may not be motivating enough for the target age group. We wish there was more variety in the games.
