Fun Spelling Activities
_______
3 spelling activities of increasing difficulty are provided to adapt the activity to the child’s spelling level. You can use the built-in word lists or create your own.
1 - "Word Practice" says and displays the word to spell, and asks the child to spell it
2 - "Scrambled Letters" says the word and displays the letters needed to build the word or sentence, and asks the child to reorder the letters.
3 - “Spelling Quizzes” is a standard spelling test, but the app won’t move onto the next word until the child has correctly spelled the word, helping them to remember its correct spelling.
• 200 built-in word lists: Words for beginners (CVC, CCVC, CVCC), Dolch Words, 1,000 most frequently used words, body parts and more
• Create custom word lists by entering your own words and sentences
• Import and export word lists
• Hints are available should kids not know how to spell a word
• Once a quiz is completed, interactive animations are available as a reward
