Description

Want a switch-accessible app that helps teach and reinforce how to speak, read and spell words, all while playing a game? Crazy Balloons Words is an engaging, fun activity that will do just that!

Crazy Balloons Words was designed with input from kids, parents, teachers and therapists as a way for children to learn, and practice recognizing, high-frequency words – all while playing a balloon-popping game that’s easy to learn but also a challenge.
