Edit list or select a word to be changed.
Ask your child to spell each word on the list and update the icons accordingly:
- Red Icon: the child does not know the word
- Orange Icon: the child has spelled the word correctly but not with confidence
- Green Icon: the child has spelled the word correctly with confidence
Advance AI is incorporated in the app to help the child learn quicker the words that he/she does not know.
The progress bar changes colour from blue to orange when the child has correctly spelled all the words at least once.
The child can practise independently using 3 modes:
- Read the word and listen to the correct pronunciation.
- Read the word and type it.
- Listen to the word by Siri and try to guess the word's correct spelling. Always press submit in order to move to the next word.
