## The Spelling Bee Description
The Spelling Bee has fun game modes to practice spelling! Enter your weekly spelling words or choose from one of the pre-loaded lists with over 850 words! This app is recommended for preschool – 5th grade. It is great for practicing for tests at school, but it is also awesome for enrichment or summer practice! 

*We have added new features!!!*
•You can now copy word lists from one profile to another on the same device.
•You can now email word lists to other users. This is a great way for teachers to send out weekly word lists!

GAMES AND FEATURES-
•Spelling Swarm: Tap the bees as they move across the screen to spell the words.

•Honeycomb Scramble: Unscramble the letters to reveal the spelling words.

•Alpha “Bee” tize: Tap and drag the words in the list to arrange them in alphabetical order. This is a great way to practice (or learn) the skill of alphabetizing while also becoming familiar with the spelling of the words.

•Spelling Bee: This is the standard test mode where you simply type in the correct spelling.

•Word Lists:  You have the option of recording your own spelling word lists or using the lists pre-loaded in the app. The pre-loaded lists have over 850 words separated into 4 different levels and some special categories. Level 1 begins with lists like “at” words and “2 letter sight words” which are perfect for starting spelling with preschoolers or kindergarteners. The levels gradually progress to words like photosynthesis and camouflage at the end of level 4.  Category lists such as numbers, colors, animals, days and months are also included! When you record your own words, you can also include a sentence with the recording.

•Badges: For each word list, you can try to earn 4 different badges for each of the game modes. Those include the “Alpha ‘Bee’ Tize” badge, the “Honeycomb Scramble” badge, the “Spelling Swarm” badge and the “Spelling Bee” badge. Badges are earned when a word list is completed without any mistakes. The badges help to show progress at a glance and motivate kids to master the word lists.

•Profiles: Set up as many profiles as you like, so that each child can earn their own badges.

•History: Shows the “Spelling Bee” (test) history, so that students and parents can track progress and see which words are being missed.


WHO SHOULD USE THIS APP?
1.Students with weekly spelling tests: This app lets them practice in a fun way, and keeps records so there is no doubt when they are ready for the test at school. 

2.Homeschoolers: The built in lists would be great as pretests or a starting point for a spelling curriculum. And of course additional words can be added to fit your specific needs.

3.Those just learning to spell: Our lists start at the BEGINNING! Starting kids with words like “cat”, “bat”, “mat” and fun games is a way to introduce spelling without being overwhelming. All of the words in level 1 only have one or two sound “chunks” and are only 2 or 3 letters.  Because the words are played audibly, it can also help with beginning reading skills as well!

4.Students who need more spelling practice: If your child tends to forget how to spell words even after being tested on them at school, this app could serve as a refresher of many of the spelling words he/she needs to know.

5.Those that need a challenge: If your child is getting all of the spelling words at school correct without even studying, this app could be a great enrichment tool. Have your child work some of the more difficult lists built into the app, or challenge them with creative lists of your own.

## The Spelling Bee Reviews in United States

### ***** "Spelling"
I love it! It helps my kids learn spelling so much easier I definitely recommend!
-- Spellingdogmom, 2024-01-23

### ***** "Game changer"
I’ve been trying to find something that will keep my kids engaged and wanting to do their prep for the upcoming spelling test. This has solved the melt downs over the idea. My kids are 9 and 6 and thrive using this app. Just what I needed.
-- NicoleLovesPiano, 2023-01-24

### ****- "Ok"
It ok
-- HorrorTimeBaby, 2020-01-17

### *---- "Not Great"
Looking for an app that I could put my kids spelling list into and have him play games.  This does that but the games are t great and it is super glitchy!  Try a different one.  Wish I could have my $2 back!
-- JKYumaTeacher, 2020-01-09

### ****- "Spelling Test feature"
This is the best App I have found for my son to study his weekly spelling words. You can add your own spelling list and record yourself saying the word which is key to helping them lean. Unlike some other Apps this one had a hint feature on the word scramble that will allow the kids to hear the word they are unscrambling, which is really important when the kids are trying to learn their new words. My only issue with the App that I wish they could fix my issue with the actual "Spelling Test" I'm not sure if it is just our iPad, but my son is given the standard iPad key board to type our the word during a practice test. The only problem with that is there is too many features on the key board that the kids don't need, like: TAB, CAP LOCK, all the NUMBERS, EMOJI ICONS, & the usful MICROPHONE that actually helps the kids cheat.
-- MU99LE, 2019-09-27

### ***** "AWESOME"
I LOVE THIS APP
-- Ann Moyer, 2019-04-08

### ***** "This is so great!"
It has helped my daughter so much with her spelling words.
-- paybjmknyfrsecgn)lm, 2019-03-20

### *---- "Unstable"
This app crashes all the time
-- seala81, 2019-01-10

### ***** "Pls read has all info"
This app is amazing. People say it cab crash, but it never crashed on me. People also say when it crashes you can't edit lists after. They're wrong. You do it by clicking edit then clicking the list u want to edit NOT on the minus symbol. And there u go. I also like how u can make your own lists.that feature really helped me prepare for Scripps spelling bee. You should buy this and support the secs. 👍
-- Splat Films, 2019-01-07

### *---- "Seems like a great App"
Loved the games. I couldn’t figure out how to record my own lists. Wouldn’t work no matter what I tried. Then the program froze my screen. It has potential to be great, but not if I can’t record and it freezes my screen.
-- Scooby-no-doo, 2018-12-21
