## What is Spelling Notebook?

Create a personalized list of words to practice. Test your spelling - hear each word spoken. Get a star for each correct word. Practice just the words you have yet to master. Retest your words at anytime. Students can practice their words independently.

Originally designed to be a replacement for a student's spelling notebook which lists words to be learnt for school each week. Unlike a paper notebook, SpellingNotebook can speak each of the words to enable testing and practice without seeing the written word. SpellingNotebook contains a full searchable spelling dictionary so that words can be added directly to the student's word list, minimizing entry errors.

*2025-12-01, version 3.8*

My kid loved it instead of writing it on paper it was way more fun he also passed all of his test recommended to down load

### 5/5 — Great App! One problem.

*2025-11-23, version 3.8*

This is a great app for spelling bee users. But wouldn't reccomend it for kids who are learning to pronounce words: has some wrong pronounciations with the TTS. So, you have to record your own voice recording. Also not quite good for spelling bee practice on its own. Not the most optimal. But you just have to pay 2 bucks one time for premium: so I won't complain! LOL
