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. |
