My Word Coach (Wii)

...whole family can play. My View This game is educational, teaches spelling and vocabulary and still manages to be good fun. As you work through the training it unlocks new mini games and it gives you an expression potential every day based on how well you are doing and gives you a new job as you progress so you might go from teacher after a few days training to lawyer. The games Missing Letter (Words have a missing letter - find the correct letter ...
...first month or so. My problem with it is that it expects you to cover too much in one session, I now play each game once and then hand it over to one of the kids to complete the session and get my job upgraded. Definitely recommended for anyone with school age kids, mine don't realize that they are learning and seem to quite enjoy it. Adults will pick it up when they are bored but I don't think it'll bring you back day after day. Recommended if ...

Review of My Word Coach (Wii)

My word coach is for those of us that find ourselves as my partner says 'groping' for a word. Bless him.

Review of My Word Coach (Wii)

Secondly, there are a lot of very American words. I don't think I have ever heard the word "pantsuit" used other than on American TV and there have been several other words that have had me, my husband and my children saying "what" even after being given the definition! ...
...some swotting. There are also some games that you can play with others. These don't add points to your "profile" but personally, I find great satisfaction in beating my 9 year old on a game of missing letter!!! Good fun and certainly can teach you something. ...

Review of My Word Coach (Wii)

In the game there are many different activites that can be done to increase your vocabulary. These are from finding the missing letter in a word to matching words to their meaning. It is an overall effective way of increasing your vocabulary, because it makes the words you learn fit in your head. Another reason it is good is because it ecourages you to learn more through its expression potential which is basically how many words you know, and you ...
