Spelling Star App Reviews

Ive said this many times, this is the best spelling app. I love how we can record a sentence for each word you put in. You can share the list with a class, which makes it great for teachers. It makes a positive sound when youve spelled the word correctly which is positive reenforcement. You can reset the list after the child has spelled each word correctly after 3 times. Its great to take on the go, my son does his spelling words in the car or at my other sons soccer practice. Its a great way to get your kid excited about spelling. We use it weekly and my son does get 100% on his spelling about 98% of the time. We love it!!

This app continues to be easy to use and has helped my children practice for their weekly spelling tests. Love the ability to share lists between devices.

Makes spelling homework a little more fun

Fantastic app for learning spelling words in any language. Engages the speller by allowing them to upload their list in their own voice. Spelling lists could not be easier for any style of learner!

I love that my son can hear my voice giving him his spelling words. And hes at the age where using the iPad is so cool! Great app!

Works perfectly and the kids love it. I have a 3rd grader and Kindergartener. Both can use it at their own levels. Best app Ive found.

This allows me to input different list for each of my children, which is so helpful. Then, the app allows you to record the word. There is enough time allowed for the recording to also add a full sentence or the definition. In the "game," the children hear what you have recorded and then have to spell the word. My older daughter must use the word in a sentence on her spelling test, so this allows us to work on the word and help her to use it in a sentence--Thank You!

Spelling Star is a great way for kids to practice their spelling words. Entering the words is quick and easy for parents and practicing is fun for kids. Best spelling app Ive found!

Our kids (2nd grade & kindergarten) love helping to record their spelling words, and the immediate feedback helps them quickly master their words. Its easy for me because the kids can sit at the counter and practice while I make dinner. Great app!

I downloaded this for my first grader that is just starting to bring home spelling lists and was very happy to have found this app. I like that, while it does congratulate you for getting words right, it is not a spelling game. The experience of hearing a word pronounced, then simply having to spell it provides an model that simulates what the child will experience when they take the test at school. I didnt realize when I first downloaded and launched the application that I would need to record myself saying each word, but that was actually a fun part for me and in the end is much preferred to having some text-to-speech voice reading the words. Just know that when you get your childs spelling list, you may need to take it and the iPad to a quiet place for a few minutes to enter and record the words. Im already looking forward to doing this again next week when the next list comes home!

As a third grade teacher, I love this app! I like how my students are able to use their own list. The immediate feedback is also essential to mastery of the spelling words. I recommend this app to the families in my classroom all the time.

It is an easy and fun way to practice your spelling words. Kids love to hear their own voices recorded and listen to them and practice with that. My kids were able to enter their own lists very easily. I would definitely recommend this app as a teacher and a parent.

This has been a great app for my daughter. She is in 1st grade and has not missed a spelling word in the first semester. She also will ask me when I get home from work to get my phone to practice her spelling words, or if we are in the car on the way to school will ask to practice one last time before we get there. A great app to master spelling.

Awesome application. I have been creating individual lists for my daughter and her spelling performance has improved greatly in the short amount of time she has been using this app. Looking forward for more learning apps from this developer

Love how easy it was for my kids to practice their weekly list using Spelling Star.

As an ELL teacher, I have used this app for so much more than just spelling. My students have been successful using Spelling Star for sight words, dictation, practicing word families, as well as spelling. In the latest version, I am able to share the lists with other teachers on my team and parents, too. I highly recommend Spelling Star for any teacher ready to bring an effective app into the classroom!

My daughter doesnt like to study her spelling. But when I let her use Spelling Star she stops complaining and jumps to her work. To use, I record each word from her spelling list into a lesson. It only takes a couple of minutes to setup a 20 word lesson. Then she uses Spelling Star to test herself to make sure she has her spelling correct. I usually have her repeat each lesson on subsequent days. This helps her retain the lessons learned. Ive found Spelling Star saves me time since I dont have to drill the spelling with her. I know she enjoys using the iPad to test her spelling more than have me test her.

This is great for use with kids (and adults) in and out of the classroom. Update 1.1.1 nice update

Easy to use. Great practice for weekly spelling lists.

Exactly what I was looking for.
