Pictoword: Learn New Words in a Different Way

Learning new words through word-and-picture association with Pictoword!

Due to its simple to use interface and engaging gameplay, Pictoword has been a hit in Google Play and the AppStore. Although the game is suitable for all ages to play, the developers have realized that some teachers have been using their word game app as a supplemental tool in teaching, especially to children with special needs; kids that have a very different approach to learning.

Unlike the usual medium of text-based textbooks, Pictoword is able to improve a child's vocabulary via associating simpler words, pronunciations and pictures that they already know to form a new and perhaps more complicated word that they can subsequently learn.

So, if your child enjoys word games or that he/she has been struggling with learning new vocab, you could give Pictoword a go. Download it now for your Android or iOS devices.
