Spell Bot – a simple (free) app to help children practice spellings.
The responsible adult can quickly create an audio based test of up to 10 words that the child can then use to practice their spellings. The interface is simple and intuitive so the child is not distracted from the task in hand. The child will receive immediate feedback after each attempt at a spelling. If they get a spelling wrong both their answer and the correct spelling is displayed. At the end of the test a summary screen is displayed with their final score as well as an invitation for them to retake the test.
