Grammarly




What is Grammarly?

Grammarly is an app for your browser that checks your grammar, spelling, plagiarism, and more all in real-time on a but is not limited to the web, it works everywhere like Microsoft Word, WordPress, Facebook etc..

Grammarly is hands down better than any other grammar checker out there, nothing else comes anywhere close to its accuracy and easy integration with both MS Word and online text boxes.

Grammarly is especially helpful if you have a good handle on grammar and punctuation already and know what you’re doing, but it is not limited to top-end users, it works brilliantly for those who struggle with grammar and spelling, picking errors in real time is amazing. It is really a very useful tool that can find both technical errors and simple typos, not sure how I coped without it.

As far as browsers go it works on Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. One of the factors that makes Grammarly the best choice for an online grammar checker is how easy it is to use on different web apps and even in Microsoft Word. Unlike other grammar checkers, the application isn’t intrusive, and it appears in texts boxes online.

The depth of feature is amazing, offering way more than any of its competitors.

Spelling Games: Smart Kids Spelling Board Game is a great set of 6 different and exciting games for the kids!

Teaches spelling patterns

  • anagrams
  • rimes
  • vowel sounds
  • syllables
  • silent letters 



(5 Stars) I bought these games to use with a group of children I work with in year 4. We haven't actually played with all the games yet but having looked at them I would still recommend them to other buyers. If these go as well as expected I may even purchase the Level 3 board games from this seller.

(5 Stars) Bought it for my 6 year old son, well for his class as xmas gift. His teacher suggested that they are looking for literature games that would help kids at primary 2 to develop the reading, writing, etc. Picked that one up and it was big hit. Kids love to play it. There is 6 games in pack for great value for the money.
Good game for kids.
