Sight Words and Spelling iPad app

The First Grade Butterflies use the Sight Words and Spelling iPad app!

The first grade spellers create custom lists of individualized spelling words within the app for learning focus.  Spellers create lists of 5 focus words.

The Sight Words and Spelling iPad app engages spellers in a variety of activities that promote accurate spelling and recognition of his/her individualized spelling words.

The Sight Words and Spelling app is used in combination with SpellBoard and Spellosaur to develop spelling "mastery".

Word Wall words and the Word Wizard app

Appreciating the variety of primary, secondary, and multi-modal learning styles within the community of Butterfly learners, I incorporated the Word Wizard iPad app in instruction, guided application, and independent application (with partners) with Word Wall Words.

I mirrored the Word Wizard iPad app onto the SMARTBoard using a VGA cable and guided the First Graders in customizing the settings to "speak" the word when tapped.

The Butterflies used the Word Wizard app to spell, read, and self-check (listen) to Word Wall words.

learning spelling words on the Spellosaur app


Two specific students are assigned to each of the thirteen iPads for Write Words (spelling words) learning.

Each iPad includes the "full" version of the Spellosaur app.
Spellosaur is an app that provides multiple and various experiences to support a student in developing mastery of "spelling words".

utilizing Spellosaur on student iPads-

A Spellosaur account was created for each of the two students assigned to the iPad on each of the iPads (for example- Spellosaur accounts were created for students A and B on iPad #1 and Spellosaur accounts for students C and D were created on iPad #2 and...).

Within each students' individual Spellosaur account, ten Write Words for learning focus were added to create a "list".
-Students referenced their individual "word lists" (containing highlighted words for learning specific to the student's individual demonstration of Write Word "mastery") to identify ten words to add as a "list" in their Spellosaur account.  Students "marked" (circling the "S" in the box before the highlighted word) the words on their individual word lists that were added to the Spellosaur app.

As students demonstrate consistent accuracy with the "practice" and "test" options within the Spellosaur app, a second "list" of ten Write Words are added to the student's Spellosaur account (and documented on the student's individual and current "word lists") and the initial list of ten words are included within a "review" list.

   As students demonstrate consistent accuracy with the "practice" and "test" options within the Spellosaur app relevant to the current list AND demonstrate consistent accuracy with the "practice" and "test" options utilizing the words on the "review" list, a third "list" of ten Write Words are added to the student's Spellosaur account (and documented) and the second list of ten words are included within the "review" list.
   -and the process continues...
