App Description

Our games are designed to help children of all abilities learn to read and spell. They are aligned with Structured Literacy Approaches, such as Orton-Gillingham. Structured Literacy is an explicit, systematic approach to reading instruction that teaches phonology, sound-symbol association, syllable types and syllable division rules, and morphology to assist in decoding and encoding strategies. The systematic and cumulative organization of material moves from basic to complex in order to master the concepts.

Spelling Generalizations are an essential element of Structured Literacy that are taught explicitly using a diagnostic, prescriptive and multi-sensory approach.

Spelling Rule Swipe is a multi-sensory learning game to help your students reinforce the common spelling generalizations. It’s visual (student sees word), auditory (student reads word), kinesthetic/tactile (student swipes word/partial word to correct spelling). Directions and spelling rules are found under the information button. There are 2 modes: full word or partial word. Spelling rules in game: initial c-/k-, final /k/, final /ch/, final /j/.

Kids will swipe their way to spelling mastery!
