Spelling
Our spelling resources offer a wide variety of spelling activities, from drills for young kids just learning how to spell to exercises for older kids working on more complex word structures. Exercises include letter rolls, vocabulary building, plurals practise, and more.
Learning to spell correctly is an important skill, usually mastered in the primary and secondary schools. Daily spelling practice is essential to this endeavor, but it doesn't have to be boring.
Spelling helps a child to read and communicate and it helps cement the connection that is shared between sounds and letters. You can help your child to improve their spelling and learn the words using these spelling resources. With our spelling apps and resources, your child will grow more confident in their spelling abilities.

NISKOO: READING AND SPELLING is an app aimed at younger children helping them to not only learn more about the world around them through increasing their vocabulary but also to help them learn how to read and spell through phonics practice. The app contains a number of scenarios based in the real world through cartoon like pictures. The user works their way through the pictures selecting an item and then hearing how it is spoken. If the user selects the option of just the vocabulary mode then they will be able to work their way through the picture hearing all the words and extending their vocabulary. As this is an app that is aimed at the younger end of the market there are lots of possibilities as to how this could really help young children learn new words and about the world around them. However, the next mode that they could select, which in my opinion is where the app excels, is the spelling mode. The spelling mode allows the user to work through the same scenario pictures but instead of just hearing the word spoken aloud the user is then prompted to try and spell the word. The way the app does this is to break down the word into the different phonic sounds (phonetically) and challenges the user to select the correct sounds and drag them into the centre of the screen in the correct order to spell the word. Not only are the correct sounds given around the edge but these are interspersed with incorrect sounds meaning that the user needs to listen and know the correct sounds rather than just being to guess. To support the user with this the app reads out the sounds once clicked helping for the correct order to be selected. As the developer points out, the app is led by the user and their interests meaning that there is a large element of learning through play and enjoyment. The app can be used by a child on their own but also with a parent helping to guide them and enjoying the discovery of learning element in the app too.

The developers of this app are well known for producing other educational based apps and already have a number of well regarded apps in the series that this app is a part of. If you are already familiar with these apps then the look and design of this app will be very familiar to you. All of the aspects that have made their previous apps a success; from the look to the functionality are all the same. A big bonus for the app in my opinion. The app itself aims to help users understand and improve upon their abilities with the English language through everyday situations making the learning of the language more geared towards real life rather than the fundamentals and mechanics of the language itself.
