App Description
Team up with the entire Pop the Penguin gang to advance your students’ spelling skills.
Spelling Teacher Free Edition provides many of the functions of Spelling Teacher and Spelling Teacher School Edition apps so parents and teachers are comfortable purchasing one of those products.
Included with Spelling Teacher Free Edition are 6 sample weekly spelling lists. Spelling Teacher School Edition provides 210 (K-6th grade) spelling lists in all. The word lists for both were developed by teachers using word families, position-based spellings, syllable patterns, ending rules, and other meaningful combinations to assist in the learning.
Including lists for grades K-6 in one app allows students to advance based upon their ability no matter what grade they are in. This allows teachers and parents to create individualized spelling programs based upon each student’s skills.
The Spelling Teacher apps also provide a simple process for creating unlimited weekly lists (only one weekly list available in the Free Edition) so that students can practice words and take practice tests on words assigned by their primary school teachers if their school has not yet standardized on the School Edition lists.
Spelling Teacher Free Edition includes Julia, your child's private spelling teacher who interacts with your student while playing fun learning activities. Teacher Julia also reads words and sentences during spelling practice and while taking weekly spelling tests. Of course, if desired a student can make their own recordings of assigned words and sentences, expanding their learning and having even more fun.
Spelling Teacher Free edition includes 5 fun spelling activities which helps students master weekly word list. Spelling Teacher Free Edition also provides suggestions for homework assignments, a word list practice function, smart practice function which provides students only the words that they missed from the last practice session they completed, and a testing function that parents/teachers can use for administering a weekly spelling test. Spelling Teacher Free edition corrects tests and practice tests for parents and teachers and provides the ability to print or e-mail the child's results.
Whether you are a parent looking to advance your child’s spelling ability or a teacher looking for a fun and efficient way to help students meet language arts common core standards, this app is for you.
