Spelling Expert
Read full descriptionHide full description
Developed with students and teachers, this versatile app is used to improve spelling skills and to learn new words in foreign languages. The clear design and the simple structure of the program help to progress efficiently. The words you wish to exercise with are to be entered first. The app provides eight different exercises to learn the entered words. These include drag& drop exercises with letters, dictation, or recognizing the word in various forms (mirrored, with missing letter, partially obscured). These exercises vary in difficulty. Points are awarded to the words when the correct answer is entered, according to the difficulty of the exercise. Once a word has been awarded 100 points, it is accepted as βlearnedβ, and removed from the active list of words. Multiple lists of words can be defined to allow several students to exercise with the same device, or to make various lists of words according to subjects / languages. Password protection allows a teacher to observe the studentβs progress and requires a password to delete unlearned words.
