MinaSpark turns spelling practice and math facts into something kids actually want to do. Built around proven learning science, MinaSpark adapts to your child's pace — focusing more time on the words they find hard and celebrating every step forward. SPELLING PRACTICE THAT WORKS Create custom word lists from your child's homework or school curriculum. Or use the camera to scan a printed spelling list and MinaSpark adds the words automatically. Each practice session reads the word aloud so your child hears it before spelling it. Wrong answers trigger a gentle letter-by-letter reveal so kids learn the correct spelling immediately rather than repeating the same mistake. Smart Mode uses spaced repetition to prioritize struggling words, ensuring your child spends time where it matters most. As words move from Struggling to Learning to Mastered, your child builds real, lasting spelling fluency. MATH FACTS MASTERY MinaSpark's multiplication practice covers all 144 facts from 1×1 to 12×12. A visual mastery grid shows exactly which facts your child has mastered, which they're still learning, and which need more work. Harder facts are introduced gradually as easier ones are secured — the same approach used by expert math teachers. DAILY CHALLENGES & REWARDS Six daily challenges reset every midnight to keep kids coming back. Stars are earned for every correct answer and bonus stars reward perfect sessions. Streaks, badges, and celebration animations make every session feel like an achievement. BUILT FOR PARENTS Multiple child profiles on a single account No ads, no in-app purchases, no distractions Camera scanning imports spelling lists in seconds Track mastery progress and practice time for each child Works on iPhone and iPad SAFE & PRIVATE MinaSpark is designed for children and used under parent supervision. We collect only what's needed to run the app — no advertising data, no location tracking, no social features. COPPA compliant. Start your child's learning journey today. Every word mastered, every math fact conquered — MinaSpark makes it count.
