## What is Spell Star 1d?

PLD Spell Star 1D: ar, or, ai, ay and oi words is the fourth app in the four-game ‘Spell Star’ series from PLD Literacy & Learning.

Designed for young first year students, this app was developed by Australian speech pathologist, Diana Rigg.

This app teaches children about words that include ar, or, ai, ay and oi, such as start, north, paint, stay and coin. This simple but engaging single player game is perfect for use in the classroom or at home.

Children will gain valuable experience sounding out words and spelling words. This results in a huge boost in confidence and improved vocabulary. The difficulty level gradually increases as children progress and learn.
