Description
Brainy Skills Commonly Misspelled Words is a spelling game made to help children and young adults learn how to differentiate correctly spelled words from the most common incorrect ones. The interactive format creates a challenging yet fun atmosphere to help reduce common spelling errors.
This app was created, developed and written by a former teacher with the assistance of a certified Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) with many years of hands on experience in a variety of settings from daycares, schools, and preschools with a large variety of both younger and older school age children, both typically developing and special needs children. After seeing the difficulties and struggles with answering a variety of questions, the great need for a unique, motivating, fun and exciting way to help improve these skills was obvious. There is a need to combine learning with fun in order to improve and increase motivation when grasping concepts such as commonly misspelled words. This app can also be used for practicing reading, and overall comprehension skills for middle and high school special needs students and those looking for remedial practice.
Adaptable as needed by parents, teachers, and therapists for a variety of skill levels, and words may be read/spelled aloud if needed. Students can play on their own or with a caretaker, assistant, or therapist to guide them along and practice basic oral reading skills. There are also Brainy Bonuses that at times are tricky to teach and review the core material. The bonuses differ in complexity, and offer an opportunity to earn more points.
Great for:
• Spelling
• Reading comprehension
• Reading aloud/fluency practice
• Memorization
This app is an excellent teaching tool for a variety of ages of children with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, developmental delays, remedial review, and all language and speech delays.
