Gone are the days of traditional Spelling Contests where teachers and students stand in front of each other and the student spells out words asked by the teacher. This is a First-of-its-Kind digital Spelling Competition designed for Primary Schools. It is fully autonomous and simple and easy for Teachers to run Spelling Competitions for large groups of children. The Spelling Game itself is fun and engaging - Students have 9 letters to spell as many 3 to 7 letter words as they can. Spell a minimum number of words of each length (3 - 7) and they unlock a Bonus Letter. But this app simplifies the whole process for teachers to administer the Spelling Competition. Teachers can - choose the 9 Competition Letters (randomly or self-selecting) - generate and download a Word List for any set of 9 Competition Letters for learners to study. The app includes an in-built dictionary of 93000 words, - set the duration of the competition, - run and monitor the competition across multiple devices from a single "Teacher" device, and - run both Practice and Competition Sessions for all levels of learners. This app takes care of the all the spell-checking and scoring for the Teacher! And it is quick and easy to set-up across multiple devices. The spelling game itself is designed to appeal to all levels of learners - from those just starting out their journey to learn English to the adept master linguists. The Leaderboard shows the latest scores during each competition. Students names are anonmised and no personal information is transferred to or stored by us. Run the First-of-its-Kind digital spelling competition that takes away all the pain of administering one! And run it as many times as you desire with each one being a completely different competition!
