Auto-delivery and assessment saves teachers’ time
Teachers will no longer spend precious instruction time administering tedious
spelling exercises. No more distributing blank sheets of paper, administering
the test, collecting response sheets for correction. With Smartspell, teachers
can even give Spelling tests as homework. Use precious class time for other
activities. |

More immediate feedback, better learning
Students receive faster feedback. Teachers can create exercises that will be
automatically graded by the computer. The grades are automatically updated on
an electronic gradebook when SmartSpell is used with the i-Symphony Learning
Platform. |
|
More engaged learning for all skill levels
SmartSpell lets teachers create customized interactive spelling exercise within
minutes, allowing teachers to create customized exercises for different sets of
students. Teachers can even use the same exercise to keep all their students
challenged and engaged – from the at-risk students to the straight-A
group. Create an exercise only once – SmartSpell automatically generates
variations that demand different skill levels to solve the exercise. For
example, alterative ways to provide answers are automatically generated:
-
Students write or type answers in blank spaces provided, or
-
They guess the right spelling from jumbled words,or
-
Students guess the right spelling from missing letters – where some of
the alphabets that make up a word are displayed to the student, while others
are left blank, and the student has to fill in the blanks to complete the
exercise

More efficient creation, storage and reuse of
spelling exercises
Teachers can create each test afresh, or include words from spelling exercises
they have created in the past. We let them build a question bank of spelling
exercises, and they can mix and match items from pre-created lists of words to
create completely new exercises. Teachers can leverage the question bank to
re-use tests created by colleagues. They create an exercise once, and have it
distributed electronically. |

Integrated intervention tools
All your students to get the classroom experience, even when they are not in
the class room. With SmartSpell, teachers can design individualized learning
aids that students can look up anytime, anywhere. Learning aids include options
to provide the root of a word, examples of how a word might be used in a
sentence, etc. |
