Whether you are a student, teacher or parent, we all know the weekly spelling drill. Monday, we get our weekly words. Wednesday, we have our pre-quiz and Friday is the spelling test. Of course, during the week there are endless impromptu spelling quizzes, – at home, in the car, at dinner, before bed – you get the idea. Well, all that just changed – say hello to SpellBoard!
SpellBoard allows you to create any spelling quiz in any language. That's right, you could even use this for your Spanish class!
SpellBoard adds fun activities to your custom spelling lists. Including Word Search, Word Scramble, Alphabetize, Word/Sentence Matching, and Missing Letter puzzles.
SpellBoard provides a fast and intuitive way for you to enter your list of spelling words. All you need to do is enter the word (correctly spelled) and the grade level. SpellBoard will take it from there using iOS's built in speech technology* to quiz you on the words (if desired/needed you can record audio in your own voice as well). Optionally, you can enter a phrase for the word, an image, antonyms and/or synonyms and notes for the word. That's it! Now you are ready to study your words and be quizzed on them.
SpellBoard also adds fun activities to your custom spelling lists. Including Word Search, Word Scramble, Alphabetization, Word/Sentence Matching as well as Missing Letter puzzles.
And possibly best of all, you can share your quizzes with other SpellBoard users, that means only one person needs to enter the weeks spelling words and then share it with other SpellBoard, SpellBoard Buddy, or even SpellBoard Mac users.
Additionally, SpellBoard allows for multiple student profiles so you can track the performance of any student across any number of quizzes. You can also track how well multiple students perform against a particular quiz.
SpellBoard also has a study mode where you can walk through a quiz seeing and hearing the word and phrase. You can practice writing the word on the virtual white board or connect to Wordnik to get a definition for the word.
Give yourself the added advantage, add SpellBoard to your learning toolbox.

Impressive

This app is not only a great way to test your child on their weekly spelling words, but it also has a couple of fun ways to study the words during the week before the actual test! They practice, and want to, on their iPads every morning during the car ride to school! Ever since we started using this app they haven't gotten less than 90% on their tests!
MUCH BETTER

Excited to see the changes on this version! The recorded words and phrases sound waaaay better and are now actually useful. I like the idea of being able to add a pic for each word. Havnt tried that feature yet though. Would like to not have to change the grade level for each word in the same list. We love this app!!!
Love it! Almost perfect.

One detail that my kid stumbles on is the green check or red "x" that appear after every attempt. As soon as she sees that she got one wrong she knows it's not 100% and becomes frustrated. If there were a setting to not display each word's status until the test was complete, that would be nice. Thanks for improving her spelling grades.
Awesome

Love! Love! Love! Great App! My 7 year old fought with me every day over spelling until I found this app! Now he comes home from school and asks to "play" with his spelling words! So glad I found it! Recommending to everyone I know.

Nice spelling app. The most indicative indicator is that my kid's teacher told me to get it (just this and MathBoard), so I do what I'm told and assume my kid's getting smarter. .. Read all my reviews on crosswa.lk ..

This is a wonderful tool to help kids learn spelling. The ability to record the word aloud, and in a sentence, is also helpful. I can give my granddaughter the iPad and let her off by herself and practice her spelling words. She also likes the Word Search feature too. Nice job on this app!
