What Makes X-Shooter Different?

Inspired by the old flash cards. Three things were built in on purpose.

Word scenes you can watch

Every word is located in a background image with 6 other words so you can see and feel the word in context.

A sophisticated ping system

A correct hit shows the word's image location in the background with a green ping. If you hit the wrong picture, a ping shows where the right one was. The miss still teaches. It is not just a score going down.

Look fast, choose one

A few random pictures fall at once. You find the match before it hits the ground. That is the whole trick: ears, eyes, choice, word.

Developing Strong Language Memory Skills — Why kids actually remember the words

A word sticks when you see it, hear it, and have to choose it fast — or type it — plus you get to see the word in context.

visual - See it

Each word has a unique mp3 and an image, and is located in a background image with 6 other words.

sound - Hear it

The game reads the word out loud in English, so the sound arrives with the picture.

practice - Then type it

Practice typing the words to reinforce memory and improve spelling skills.

Educational vs fun

The learning is the point. The game part is how students stay in the chair.

Do I need to install anything?

Can a class or family share it?
Yes. Up to 12 profiles keep their own progress. A parent or teacher can check the dashboard.
What is the difference between X-Shooter and X-Typer?
X-Shooter is matching words to pictures. X-Typer is typing the same words. Membership includes both.
