In a teaching situation, it is invaluable for a teacher to record a
student for an analysis of oral language and/or reading over
time. The timing facility is also of great assistance for a
multitude of things: timed Maths facts, word lists, paragraphs
etc.
A student is also able to prepare a story line as part of a plan for
later writing.
The age of a child does not impact on the sound production.

ADVANCED OPTIONS
✔ Ace it - Instead of taking a regular test, when you click to "Ace it" you have
to keep repeating words until you spell them correctly. Since feedback and
repetition is the best way to learn, your kids will improve even faster and enjoy it
because by the end they will have aced every test!
✔ Practice - The practice mode does not track your score and offers a quick
preview of each word when needed with just one click. Its a fun and easy way to
get familiar with especially challenging new words.
Listen to word &, if needed, view it
quickly via the light bulb
ADVANCED OPTIONS
✔ Unscramble - The unscramble mode activates and
develops a completely different part of your brain.
Instead of instantly hearing the word and having to spell
it, you see a scramble of letters and have to figure out
what word they are for. It's fun and another great way
to sharpen your kids spelling skills. If a letter is in the
incorrect sequence it turns red.
✔ Review mistakes - With each test you took, you can
choose to quickly just retest any / all mistakes. In
addition, on the main page, you can always click to
review all the words that were misspelled on their last
attempt.
Unscramble is a fun sequencing of sounds and
letters
Test results are colour coded & can be emailed to teacher
&/or parents.
