Most of the spelling apps I own have the same activity: a spelling test following the listen, write, check pattern. Spell with Pip is a different and is aimed at emergent spellers. Children fly Pip the Parrot around to collect the letters to spell each word. The target word is always visible at the top of the screen. On early levels, only the letters needed appear, but as children progress through levels, extra letters appear. Note: This review was originally published on The Appy Ladies website. For details on how to win a copy of the app, see the note at the end of this post. (Competition closes 27th Feb, 2014).
Pip looks for the correct letters. At this level, there are no confusing extras
