Smart Speller Sprint 1

Smart Speller Sprint 1 brings more than 100 words from the NJ first grade spelling list to life in fast and fun fashion. Great for any child just starting to learn how to sound out words and spell. HH, an adorable Happy Helper character, hosts the game. He gives directions on how to play, uses each word in a sentence, and provides positive feedback and enthusiastic encouragement for each correct answer. The game provides immediate feedback, comparing the player's selection with the correct answer. At the end of the game, you can review what words were spelled correctly and incorrectly.

Please let us know how you like the game and whether you'd like to see the Happy Helper character in more games.

Personal note:
I created this fun little app to help prepare a class of first graders for their first spelling bee last year. I saw their scores jump by more than 50% in less than a month of occasional play. An occupational therapist used the game with slightly older learning disadvantaged children who became quickly engaged and challenged. You can try this game online at the DoAndYouWillLearn website or go directly to http://doandyouwilllearn.com/diygames/smartspeller/SmartSpellerSprint1.html

Proceeds from this app and other DoAndYouWillLearn apps enable me to continue to volunteer in schools, working with kids to make games with kids for kids. Thank you for your support.

Note: I hope this doesn't scare you off, but I don't consider myself a commercial app developer. I create games in Flash and export and port them for the Android Market. It may not be as elegant as other apps, but it does work well on the Kindle Fire and the Android phones we've tested. I'm always trying to improve, so if you have issues or suggestions, please email hoc@doandyouwilllearn.com.

Thank you.
