Notice: this App Store introductory version of Stellar Speller will be free for the first week. Have fun!
Stellar Speller provides spelling practice for children from 3rd grade up through 8th grade in a colorful, refined, and uncomplicated format. It provides specific spelling practice for many different types of diphthong and digraph word combinations. It can also provide general spelling quizzes comprised of strategically grouped words for different age groups ranging from 8 to 12 years old. The word groups are designed both to cover specific types of letter combinations as well as word groups designed to cover the full range of spelling characteristics. A version of Stellar Speller with additional features is currently widely used in schools throughout southern California.
There are no advertising distractions or cluttered graphics, and sound distractions are kept to a minimum. The app concentrates on providing spelling practice, not animated graphic entertainment. Mac OS X system voices are used for dictation: Alex, Samantha, Tom, and Ralph. If those voices are not already installed on your Mac, you can add them through System Preferences/Dictation & Speech. Children can choose which of the four voices best suits their ear. Since these computer generated voices are used, Stellar Speller is able to provide thousands of words in many different word groupings to practice spelling.
