Spelling Bee Champ helps to make practicing spelling fun. Words are presented orally and then given context in a sentence. The student's challenge is to spell the word correct by typing using a keyboard that is displayed on the iPad screen. When a word is spelled correct a positive reward and message appear. The goal is to spell ten words correctly. Words are selected randomly from over 1,000 words organized by grade level.
