Word Tag - Word Learning Game 3.20.0

Word Tag is an exceptional learning tool designed for children aged 7-13. With a focus on vocabulary improvement, this app has shown to increase test scores by up to 43% in our focus group. By dedicating just 20 minutes per day, kids can learn up to 1,000 new words each year while indulging in gameplay that is both entertaining and educational.

Developed by the acclaimed team at Mrs Wordsmith, Word Tag is an immersive video game that captivates children's attention and keeps them engaged for hours. Through this highly interactive experience, children effortlessly enhance their vocabulary and develop the skills needed for confident reading. The carefully crafted gameplay combines cutting-edge design, educational research, and mini-games that provide kids with bite-sized exposures to expand their word knowledge.

From the very beginning, Word Tag offers a personalized experience with up to four child profiles and progress reports. Parents can easily track their child's progress and gain insight into the specific areas of improvement. The game mechanics include syllables and synonyms, pop quizzes, and context word games that challenge kids while reinforcing their learning. The pedagogy behind the game was developed with guidance from literacy experts to ensure the utmost effectiveness.

This game-based learning approach is grounded in science. According to Stanford Research, educational information presented through gaming is more likely to be retained compared to traditional methods such as reading a book. The immediate feedback, rewards, and gratification from Word Tag make it an innovative and groundbreaking tool for learning.

The game utilizes spaced repetition as the primary method for teaching vocabulary, aligning with the Science of Reading framework. This approach has been proven to be the most effective way to learn new words as it reinforces retention and improves reading comprehension. Each word is encountered eight times across four different mini-games:

1. Word Jumble: Players unlock word definitions by arranging jumbled syllables in the correct order, allowing them to grasp the meaning, spelling, and pronunciation of each new word.
2. Word Pairs: This game reinforces word meaning by introducing synonyms and word pairs.
3. Words in Context: Kids have the opportunity to use words in context by selecting the appropriate word to complete a sentence.
4. Pop Quiz: A fast-paced game that challenges players to recall synonyms and word pairs for multiple words.

The progression of these mini-games is carefully structured to build upon the child's understanding of each word. By seamlessly integrating rewards, exciting challenges, and an immersive world, Word Tag not only entertains but also maximizes learning outcomes.

The vocabulary taught in Word Tag is tailored to the specific needs of each child, encompassing various categories such as creative writing and literature words, textbook words from the Lexile database, US and UK exam words, inspirational words, and terms from STEAM subjects (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics).

Word Tag offers a free trial period of one week, with a subsequent monthly subscription priced at US$9.99. For more details regarding our terms and conditions or privacy policy, please visit our website.
