From the award-winning educational publisher Mrs Wordsmith, Word Tag combines cutting-edge instructional design with gameplay. Children with a better vocabulary do better in school. Help your child increase their reading and writing age, and become a confident reader. A word game so engaging, your child won’t want to stop learning.

“The level of vocabulary gets increasingly difficult as you play. The game is adaptive.” - Ted Briscoe, Professor of Computational Linguistics, University of Cambridge

THE WORDS KIDS NEED TO KNOW

Our pedagogical approach was developed in collaboration with literacy experts including Susan Neuman (Professor of Early Childhood and Literacy Education, NYU), Ted Briscoe (Professor of Computational Linguistics, University of Cambridge), and Emma Madden (Headteacher at Fox Primary, one of the UK’s top schools).

Children can learn up to 1000 new Tier 2 vocabulary words a year. Our team of linguists and data scientists mine databases of vocabulary found in literature, major exams (such as the 11+ and SSAT), and school curricula in the US and UK. We have partnered with Lexile to ensure players are exposed to a selection of words that increases their reading age.

Players will be able to select word playlists that are tailored to their needs. Types of word playlists include:

- Creative writing and literature words
- US exam words (inc. SSAT, SAT)
- UK exam words (inc. KS1/KS2 SATs, ISEB 11+)
- Inspirational words
- STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) words
- An epic mix of words
