Create fun spelling tests with your own voice! It's super easy to record lists of words and learn them with the 'look, say, cover, write, check' approach. Practice as many times as you like and then try a test to see how you score. Recording and hearing yourself (or your kids!) saying the words or using them in a sentence is an effective and fun way to learn. Practice mode helps to reinforce the correct spelling by preventing mistakes and using sounds and a simplified alphabetic keyboard. Test mode gives you the chance to try them out, giving you fewer hints and keeping track of how you do. At the end of the test you can see how many words you got right and wrong. And what's more, it's completely FREE to create 3 tests containing up to 3 words! You can unlock tests with unlimited words using the in-app purchase.
