Magic Spellings helps young children learn to spell, one picture at a time. A picture appears and a friendly voice says the word. Your child taps the letter tiles in order to spell it, then taps the tick. A right answer bursts into sparkles; if it's not quite right, the correct spelling appears in green so they can see where they went wrong. No pressure, no timers. THIRTEEN LEVELS, ONE STEP AT A TIME • First sounds: three-letter words like cat and dog, with the first and last letters given - just find the vowel in the middle • Look and spell: the word appears in letter tiles and is read aloud, then turns into its picture - now spell it from memory • Whole words: the same words, spelled in full • Sound pairs: four-letter words like belt and clap, with the two letters around the vowel to find - be-lt, cl-ap • Blend pairs: the same words, now finding the two consonants together - be-lt, cl-ap • Blend middles: the same words with the middle two letters to find - c-ra-b, b-an-d • Look and spell blends: see and hear crab or tent first, then spell it • Whole blends: crab, frog, lamp and tent, spelled in full • Digraphs at the start, end and middle: ch, sh, th, wh, ph and qu - chain, bench, teacher • ck, ng and mb at the end and in the middle: clock, ring, lamb, jacket The first eight levels and one child are free. One purchase unlocks levels 9 to 13, every level we add in future, and up to five children on the device - no subscription. EARN STARS, OPEN NEW LEVELS Every game is ten words. Get eight or more right to win a gold star. Five stars on a level shows it's mastered and opens the next one, so children only move on when they're ready - and can always go back to replay a level they love. SPELLBOUND KEEP Every game passed earns a bag of pixie dust, and ten bags make a magical coin. Spend coins on treasures, furniture for a magical castle that children arrange themselves, magical pets to look after, and a horse and carriage for the stable. DAILY WORDS A daily game of the most common words, matched to your child's level, with a streak to keep going. BE A FAIRY OR A WIZARD Your child types their name and picks from 88 fairy and wizard characters, so the game is theirs from the first tap. MADE FOR SMALL HANDS • Big, bright letter tiles - lowercase, as children learn them at school • A clear, child-friendly font with the "a" and "g" they see in books • Every word spoken aloud, as often as they like, in a British English voice • Nearly 400 picture words, plus 300 everyday words in the daily game • Every word comes up once before any repeats, so practice stays fresh • A little pop and a buzz on every letter, and a sound switch for quiet times SAFE AND PRIVATE • No adverts, no accounts, no sign-up • One optional purchase, behind a grown-ups question so children can't buy by accident • Nothing your child types or does ever leaves the device • Works fully offline - perfect for car journeys and holidays • British English spellings throughout
