Great fun!:
This is Mandy, James' wife. I wish I could have had this about 15 years ago, when I was studying for the SAT's. I only have one complaint: I'm not bragging, but once you get to 99%, you just stay there. It took me about two weeks. I am still learning new words, and learning how to spell words I already knew the meaning of (but could not type close enough for spell checker to even make a suggestion).
Worth your $[...]:
I'm too scared to ever actually use the new words that I've learned from this game for fear of using them incorrectly and sounding like an idiot, but My Word Coach has extended my vocabulary. It's fun, addictive, personalized to each individual player, and definitely worth the $[...]. Of all the Wii games I've played, this one is my... second favorite.
My Word Coach:
My Word Coach offers a fun and challenging way to increase your vocabulary in addition to checking out what level verbage you already use. It would be an excellent way to help your children learn while playing a fun game.
Fun and educational!:
Good game that makes learning new words fun! I was surprised at how quick it came up with words I didn't know, and I really liked the way it worked those words back into the next set of games played, as a method to ensure you learn them. For the price, a great gaming value with longevity!
