I'm ready to start beta testing Word Snap, a tile word game for young kids. My son enjoys it, but you don't have to have kids to help test it. ;)

If you're interested, send me a PM or use this TestFlight link: http://tflig.ht/UAp0sl. Please make sure you are using an iPad as the game is not yet sized for an iPhone/iPod.

Thanks in advance! The video below is not the final trailer but rather just a peak at the gameplay (no audio):




FYI, here's the long description for the game:

Is your child learning to read? Does your child enjoy sounding out words? Do your students need practice working with consonant digraphs, blend onsets, and rime chunks? If so, Word Snap is here to help!

Word Snap offers a unique experience for children to engage in a fun and non-pressured learning environment that focuses on giving them practice in basic skills with a gradual increase in difficulty.

Word Snap was designed by teachers and tested by students to ensure academic standards and interest level.

Word Snap relies on tried-and-true educational resources for student development of early language skills:
• Built-in dictionary of primary level words from published Word Families lists
• Over 375 unique words for students to build using intuitive touch controls to position letter tiles
• More than 28 phonograms are presented for practice
• 4 levels of difficulty and 100 rounds provide students with continuous reinforcement of concepts

And it's not just academic… it's fun, too!
• "Word pal” animals cheer on students and offer tips
• Star system rewards students who find all correct words in a round
• Students win medals for correct word streaks

Designed for all students, including those with learning disabilities:
• Built-in tutorial helps students understand the goals and mechanics of the game
• Ability to skip rounds and return to them later
• Word Pal Wisdom lets students take a break to learn and review words
• Menu buttons include pictographic icons
• Low level of distractions (limited animations, solid color background, etc.)
• Option to disable sounds
• Option to disable "Word pals"

Plus, parents and teachers can take advantage of the back-end Teacher Area:
• Individual accounts for each student
• Detailed statistical tracking of student progress
• List of areas of difficulty
• Student progress is automatically saved after each word guess
• Password-protected access keeps information private
