Spelling Bee

Spelling Bee is a quiz and study app for practicing challenging spelling words in English. The study function is flashcard-like, giving a word and definition along with the audio of the word's pronunciation, delivered in chunks of 10 words per study session. Users can choose among four levels: Beginner (with words like whole, country, quite, and whose), Easy (including artificial, calculate, and accomplish), Medium (featuring brilliance, irrigation, and rectitude), and Hard (testing kids on words like disseminate, supererogation, recrudescent, and defenestration). Each level includes about 50 to 100 words, with words repeating at random during the quizzes. Correct answers are verified in green, while incorrect answers are corrected and shown in red. After the quiz, the time and percentage correct is shown, and students have the chance to review the words covered in that quiz.

Users can also link to an online library of videos that cover a wide range of age level and subject matter. This collection of video links includes a wealth of education-related content, from counting and alphabet videos to clips about math, science, and literature. 

Since teachers and students can't control which words are included on any study session or quiz, this isn't the best tool for regular spelling practice. While the skill-and-drill method of teaching spelling and vocabulary may not work best for younger students, the words and easy review methods of Spelling Bee's hardest level are good for SAT prep. The best added value here might be the videos, which cover a wide range of subjects. Though they're mostly unrelated to spelling, these linked clips cover such a range of material that teachers may find a few gems worth sharing with their classes.
