Dyslexia Test & Tips™ vs Smarty Spell

Dyslexia Test & Tips is the first app in the world that helps you quickly identify dyslexia and create a profile of the person being tested. FOR WHO? This app is meant for children, students and adults either with dyslexia or where there is a chance of dyslexia. You can take the test yourself or as a teacher, parent, family member or colleague, help someone you think could possibly be dyslexic to take the test. Even if you do not come into direct contact with someone with dyslexia, it can be interesting to take a look at this app in order to gain insight into the behaviour of people with dyslexia and understanding of its impact on their lives. DYSLEXIA TEST This app has been developed out of a deep love and commitment to the profession and with the intention of sharing information so that all can benefit. By doing the dyslexia test yourself, or letting family and friends, colleagues and neighbours take the test, it will soon become clear if there is a possibility of dyslexia. And the sooner professional help can be sought. IDENTIFICATION You have the option of first taking the short test found under “Identification’ before taking the more comprehensive test with 35 questions. The purpose of the app is to quickly get an idea if someone is showing any signs of dyslexia. The earlier dyslexia is recognised, the sooner a treatment plan can be implemented. But be aware, this is an indication and not a diagnosis. There is a chance that you will encounter behavioural characteristics in this app which you did not realise were associated with dyslexia. TIPS The wide range of tips in this app can contribute to a better future for those with dyslexia. In fact we can all benefit whether dyslexic or not, by improving the way we communicate. The app has been extensively tested by psychologists and dyslexia specialists. Children and (young) adults who are not good readers are advised to use the app with someone to help them.

Smarty Spell: The Ultimate 3-in-1 Literacy Platform Developed by a certified Speech-Language Pathologist, Smarty Spell has evolved into a comprehensive educational platform designed to take your student’s spelling and reading abilities to the next level. With a highly engaging new interface, friendly animal mascots, and superior data tracking, Smarty Spell is the perfect tool for educators, therapists, and parents alike. While it comes loaded with over 300 built-in words, the true power of Smarty Spell lies in its incredible flexibility. Students can tackle words based on their grade level (Kindergarten to 6th Grade), explore thematic categories, or master completely custom word lists created by their teacher. Three Ways to Play: Smarty Spell now features three distinct, interactive game modes to keep students engaged while targeting different literacy skills: Spelling Game: Drag and drop letters to spell the target word with full visual and auditory scaffolding. Reading Game: Build sight-word recognition by matching the spoken word and image to the correct text. Missing Letter Game: A fun, tactile experience where students fill in the blanks on a beautiful wooden tray to complete the word. Unmatched Customization & Accessibility: Smarty Spell adapts to every learner. Reinforce specific vocabulary by adding your own words and photos! The app seamlessly blends real, recorded human audio with a newly integrated, high-quality, kid-friendly Text-to-Speech engine, ensuring every word—even your custom ones—is pronounced perfectly. You can also adjust font sizes, toggle visual hints, and switch between uppercase and lowercase letters to meet each student's exact needs. Professional-Grade Data Tracking: Tracking progress is a breeze with our completely overhauled "Report Card" suite. Teachers and parents can monitor overall accuracy over time via intuitive line graphs, or drill down into specific word lists. Because the app tracks data by game type, you will know exactly if a student has mastered "Animals" in Reading, but still needs practice with "Animals" in Spelling! Enjoy the benefits of a clean, modern interface, engaging gameplay, and robust tracking. Key Features Include: The Content: 3 Distinct Game Modes: Spelling, Reading, and Missing Letter.
