The phonetic zoo does not go deep into every jot and tittle about spelling and does not cover syllabication. If you are looking for that, you would be happier...
We tried Phonetic zoo, it just wasn't our cup of tea. However Spell to Write and Read was fantastic. The program is non consumable. I am still using it with...
