Description
Spelling Star is the perfect app for practicing your spelling lists. Create lists by entering words and recording the audio. Practice spelling each word correctly three times to become a Spelling Star!
● One of the top-rated spelling apps available.
● New share list feature is perfect for teachers that want to create lists and share with their students.
FEATURES:
● Share Lists - create lists on one device and share them with anyone else that has the Spelling Star app.
● Copy Lists - click a button to make a copy of any list on your device. Perfect for parents with multiple kids or teachers that want to individualize lists based on student needs - add challenge words or modify lists for accommodations.
● Immediate Feedback - students get immediate feedback after each word as they practice.
● Progress Indicator - parents/teachers can monitor the progress of their students as they work towards mastering their list.
● Easy, Effective & Engaging - we've built this app to be easy and effective for students. There aren't a lot of unnecessary bells and whistles that distract students from the goal of practicing their spelling words, but the stars they receive keep them engaged.
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.

Microphone option does not work
Unhappy with this app, waste of time as you can not record the sound of the word. Look elsewhere.
Amazing app but...
It needs an update great idea really good for the class but no longer works with the new date please fix asap.
Fun Learning App that works!
I'm very happy with this app, since family sharing it on my children's ipad mini's - they load in their weekly spelling list, record it themselves and do the list every day! Spelling is improving... We have also loaded it on our school iPads. Thanks so much... Recommend highly!
Great app!
Great way to get kids to practice spelling. Simple to set up and create lists. Could use more rewards like fun stickers or pretend prizes to encourage more playing.
Awesome!
Fantastic app! Create your own spelling lists!
Love
Easy to use and my kids love it :)
Love it!
So simple to use and so effective. I love that I can record my own words/sentences, it means there's no confusion with accents or homophones.
Great for the Classroom!
iTeach: Apps for the Classroom gives Spelling Stars a rating of 5 stars. It is a great teacher's assistant. It is fully customisable to each user, provides instant feedback - which is great for optimising successful learning outcomes; and it tracks results and provides summative feedback. The fact that you can record your own audio makes it very relevant to my Australian students. Thanks for a great app!
