I made this app for my daughter who struggles with spelling, and I
hope it will be a great tool for your family. There are over 20?? 30??
spelling lists to choose from. The app is really simple and based on
repetition. Your child works on a list of words until they feel confident
they know the words. There are hints to help in this process. The app
keeps track of misspelled words in each list, and has the option to
practice just those. You can also review the report card at anytime to
see how your child is progressing. When your child feels like they
know all the words in a list, they can then select the “EARN STAR”
button to take the challenge. In the "challenge" mode the child cannot
get hints or restart the list. A star is earned when all the words in the
challenge round are spelled correctly. Now this is where you get
involved... Once your child gets 5 stars they are prompted to show you
their achievement and be rewarded. Ive learned that rewards are great
incentives! Once you have rewarded your child for their hard work,
tap the coin and the game will reset and the stars earned go back to zero.
The overall idea behind this app is to combine technology with the
human element and the joy of recognition and rewards. I really hope
this app helps your child master spelling.
