Word Serenity helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Working Memory: Recalling and retaining information in our minds while working.

In order to complete a puzzle and move to the next level, the player needs to use their working memory skills to recall how words are spelled as they are in the act of tapping the different bubbles to form words. For players who struggle with working memory, using the rearrange function in the game may help them see the letters in different combinations and make it easier to form words.The game also helps the player by showing them how many words they need to collect and how many letters are in each of those words. This makes it a little easier for the player to know how many letters they need for the word, which can help with spelling. Players can also use hints if they need just a little extra help getting started. 

Planning: Developing a systematic approach for setting and achieving goals.

By completing levels and finding additional words that were not in the puzzle, the player can earn coins. With these coins, the player can purchase hints for when they are stuck on a certain word or level. The player needs to use their planning skills with their coins because they are a finite resource. Unless the player wants to spend real money on extra hint coins, they need to save and budget to use the coins only when they truly are stuck and need a hint. Players who struggle with planning may find that they run out of coins too quickly and need to struggle through a puzzle or purchase additional hint coins. For these players, making a plan to use the coins much like a bank account can help budget them out for when they are truly needed.
