The Spelling-Cam app for iPhone and iPad

The Spelling-Cam is a unique resource that transforms the way children learn to spell. With The Spelling-Cam on your iOS device, the whole world becomes a spelling-stage; with endless opportunities to get creative and get spelling, using our innovative camera overlay.

The built-in Spell-Cam works with your devices camera-roll. Choose from the forty Tricky Words taken from phases 2-5 of the Department for Educations popular Letters and Sounds publication (UK), or type in and use your own custom word up to 10 letters. Create your own works-of-art by seeking out the most stunning or unusual backgrounds, as you explore colour, light and texture and opacity to capture the perfect shot. Save - or print - your works-of-art as posters, flashcards or school displays. Once you start, youll find it hard to stop - the possibilities are limitless.

With The Spelling-Cam learning to spell Tricky Words happens by magic. To test this theory, weve included a Spelling Test feature - good luck! Are you as good a speller as you are photographer? (Only available when working with Tricky Words)

Every App needs a mini-game, so weve created Word Invaders - a twist on the classic arcade game thats guaranteed to engage the most reluctant of learners. Battle your way through all forty levels to dominate the scoreboard and earn star-rating for all those Tricky Words - just remember to let the kids have a turn! Launch into battle against your Custom Words to really show them whos boss!

Were very proud of The Spelling Cam and were sure youll love creating and learning alongside us. Thats where Photo Show comes in: a feature that lets you create, save and print four Polaroid™ style prints of your favourite photographs.

With ongoing competitions on our Facebook page, youll get the chance to share your most awesome shots, as well as win the chance to feature photographs or artwork on future App updates. Simply hit the Like button over at https://www.facebook.com/The-Spelling-Cam-955634334474510/?ref=hl

Whether youre a TA running a spelling intervention, a teacher nurturing a love for learning, or a parent/carer trying to motivate and support your own children, The Spelling-Cam is picture-perfect.

Have fun :)

NB - The Spelling-Cam uses soundbites linked to each word. Theyre included to support the learning process. Therefore, we recommend interacting with the App in all its glory; with the sound loud and proud. Ensure that your device isnt on mute/silent, and test volume control for the best possible Spelling-Cam experience.
