Description
IMPORTANT: Please make sure your device is not set to mute whilst playing this game!
Spellbook is the first spelling app from Mr Thorne Productions, the team behind the Mr Phonics / Mr Thorne Does Phonics apps which have had huge success on Youtube and the App Store around the world.
Mr Thorne's Spellbook is educational and fun. 101 spelling tests based on the order of teaching letters and sounds, beginning with s, a, t, p, i, n, m and so on, leading onto digraphs and trigraphs such as 'ch' and 'air'. Finally the spellings become more challenging, for example, the /er/ sound in 'earth' and the 'silent u' in 'building'.
The player is encouraged to listen to the word and spell the word correctly, sometimes using capital letters too!
Score 10 out of 10 to unlock the safe. Open the safe to obtain the treasure.
Game structure: The words in each game are in sync with a child's ability, so the 's' level will not have the word 'start' because the 'ar' words are in a later level. The 's' level instead features words that are easy to blend and read: 'sat', 'sip'.
There are some levels which feature 'HFW' - high frequency words (words that don't always sound how they are spelt) like 'was' and 'people'.
Can you find all 101 treasures?

Ratings and Reviews
Waste of money
Looks good but does not play any sound. Sound is kind of crucial as the child is supposed to listen to the word then spell the word. Such a shame as we were looking forward to playing it and it helping with spelling.
Great product
I have used this App for my children when they were growing and now I am using it for my students. It has a miner mistake but great overall. It encourages children to be more confident with their spelling. I will recommend this App.
Highly recommended
This is a brilliant app. My son absolutely loves it and is keen to learn spellings morning, noon and night. The only thing you have to do is ensure your phone is not on silent mode, so that you can hear the wonderful Mr Thorne!
