Spanish Word Book and Puzzle Box HD is an incredibly engaging way to practice and reinforce early Spanish and puzzle solving skills for young learners. The combination of Spanish phonics AND Spanish letter names for spelling make this a rich, valuable option for building familiarity with the language through time-tested early literacy methods. The puzzles are awesome too, though not tied directly to Spanish vocabulary.

Word Book and Puzzle Box HD contains a huge amount of highly motivating early literacy and spatial skills practice in an incredibly motivating format that my children adore. Whether spelling animal names or building jigsaw and shape-based puzzles, my three oldest children have worked industriously to earn the stars needed to elaborately and distinctly decorate their individual bedrooms. If the phonics were correct, I’d say this app would be a must-have for the early years - I hope someday they will be.
