The parents' guide to what's in this app.
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that GazziliWords is an educational app that teaches basic concepts in science, art, health, life skills, and other areas. On each of its 18 different topics, including concepts such as time, electricity, art, balance, and fingerprints, the app will display and read a page of background information (or the app can be set for kids to read to themselves), and then kids play a related activity or game. Kids interact with the device through tilting, tapping, blowing, and dragging.

What's it about?
GazziliWords presents kids with 24 topics. With each topic, kids hear brief questions kids might ask, and then a short explanation. The explanations occasionally include words and concepts that parents may need to explain further. Each topic also includes a cute, interactive activity that illustrates the topic. For example, for patience, the activity is fishing, where kids have to wait for the fish and pull the hook as they swim by. Some activities are better than others, but overall, they are great conversation starters.
Is it any good?
GAZZILIWORDS acts as a virtual playground for kids to explore concepts such as strength, the food pyramid, and creating art. The music is cheerful, and the reading voice gentle. Although most of the activities take some amount of dexterity, overall they are easy to play. Kids interact with the device in a variety of ways to accomplish the goals of each playful activity. GazziliWords combines instruction, play, and experimentation to give kids the opportunity to use what they learn while having fun.
