WHY IT WORKS:
● Your Actual Spelling Words
You
add the word lists that spellers are studying at school or home. Record
each word or use a sentence to make the word meaning clear. Words are
presented in a random order so spellers are ready to spell them in any
order on a test or in a spelling bee. Some users have shared that having
their children add and record their word lists has been another good
way to practice each week. Practice anytime, anywhere!
● Mastery Practice
Spellers
practice their words until they are mastered. Spellers earn a star each
time they correctly spell a word without a hint. Three stars equal a
mastered word. When a speller has mastered a word, Spelling Star will
remove that word from the practice cycle. This allows spellers to focus
on words that need extra practice. Individual words or full lists can
easily be reset if additional practice is desired.
● Immediate Formative Feedback
Spelling
Star immediately lets a speller know how they did on each word. It also
provides them the option to redo the word right away if an error is
made. Spellers can move on if desired, but the ability to fix an error
on the spot reinforces the correct spelling. No more waiting until the
end of the whole list to find out how they are doing on each word.
● Summative Feedback
At
the end of each practice cycle, Spelling Star provides feedback for the
entire list and provides the option to immediately practice it again.
Spelling Star also provides a quick view of progress towards list
mastery within the list selection screen. Spelling Star makes it easy to
see how close spellers are to mastery.
● Audio and Hints
Spelling
Star replays the recorded audio as many times as desired with no
penalty towards mastery. If a speller is stuck, they simply tap the hint
button to get a quick look at the word so they can finish it. While a
hint won’t count towards mastery, it gets the speller un-stuck and
prevents frustration. Spellers can then practice the word again or move
on.
