Vocab-a-splat is a vocabulary-building game that teaches children the meanings of high-frequency words they encounter while reading. The object of the game is to collect enough paint to color the pictures in the Vocab-a-splat Gallery.

BASED ON SOUND EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH

Vocab-a-splat is recommended for children aged 4-6. The app is an extension of The First 4,000 Words, a research-based online program for schools that was field tested with children in grades 1-4.

The 400 words taught in Vocab-a-splat were selected from two well-regarded sources: The Educator's Word Frequency Guide and Hiebert's Word Zones™ corpus.


FEATURES

- Engaging game play.
Using a slingshot, players fling balls at the pictures that match the spoken words. Players try to make 10 matches before running out of balls. Animations and sound effects sustain the fun.

- Words organized by theme.
Words are organized according to 40 common themes such as "Family," "Science," and "Around the World."

- Progressive challenge.
As players progress through the game, the targets become smaller and the words become more difficult.

- Contextual help is available.
Players can tap the gramophone when they need help with word meanings.
