3 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 using the talking movable alphabet allowing the child to learn the spelling easily
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. The app won’t move onto the next word until the child has correctly spelled the word, helping them to remember its correct spelling.
• 184 built-in word lists of 10 words: Words for beginners, Dolch Words (sight 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 you’ve created

This is a wonderful app for helping your children learn to sound out words and spell! My 3 and 5-year old love this app and use it almost everyday with the Sounds of the Alphabet book! This is an excellent app in teaching homeschool! Thank you for making such a wonderful app!!!!
It would be really great if there was an option to add/remove graphemes like digraphs like etc and trigraphs like etc. is not a grapheme. The /ŋ/ can be spelt with a single ’n.’ Pay attention to what your tongue is doing to figure out which sound it is. Say ‘money’ and you can feel your tongue press on the ridge behind your teeth /n/. Then say ‘monkey’ and you can feel the tongue in the back of the throat. Also, there is no * in distinct, banquet, and conch.
Room for improvement. I am a fan of your apps but this one just doesn't hit the spot. When making words the initial sound is repeated. The American accent on the UK setting! No, just no. I was impressed by the z phoneme though :-)
this app felt akward and not user friendly for a young age group. I am a mother tersting it out, and cant say id suggest it :/
It's so good but I not like that Gama 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
