4.2.3. USING ICT TO SUPPORT SPELLING

1. Commercially produce software packages designed to help individuals improve their speeling such as : Starspell and 10/10 spelling

   • but these have not been proved to be successful , they do seem to motivate children but learning does not seem to be transferred from the computer into their own writing.

2. The instant feedback facility of some word-processing packages such as Word, where an incorrect spelling is instantly underlined may be useful. It alerts the speller to possible error and encourages spellers to look closely at words and patterns

3. SPELLCHECKERS have some use but tend to be most useful to people who already spell reasonably well and whose errors are close to the original.

4. Game apps

   • Doodle Hangman Free (For older children only)
   • Word magic (young learner)
   • kIds' picture dictionary, Wordweb dictionary, word central
