Reading depends on rapid, smooth decoding. It's what allows a good reader to look at words and instantly recognize what they are "saying" (that is, decode them into real words). Our online spelling tests are split into children's age groups, from Year 1 (when children are between 5 and 6 years old) all the way up to Year 6 (when they are between 10 and 11 years old). Instead of hunting down challenging spelling lists, printing them at home and struggling to find the time to finish them...why not just try an online spelling test? Out of a total of 1100 points achievable,800 are determined by the percentage of correct words (or correctness factor), So this means that spelling correctly all the words proposed by the test will earn 800 points. Answer field: a text field where you have to correctly type the current word pronounced by the app.Fortunately there is a solution which may be a bit unexpected – since it rests not in reading but in writing. Reading often can be achieved without "exactness." For example, if you show a young child a long word starting with el and ending with ant, the chances are that he or she will say ("correctly") that it is the word elephant. The cues are sufficient to make this "guess." Writing, or at least accurate writing, is not possible if this kind of rough approximation is used. For a word to be written accurately, each and every letter must be noted and placed in the correct sequence. That's why writing holds the key to both successful reading and writing. On the left side you will find some useful information related to the ongoing test: test type, words to go, repeat calls, last spelled word, difficulty level and elapsed time for this test. Every one of our games is a simple, online, multiple-choice spelling quiz. Children listen to the word, then the word within a sentence and finally the word again. They then have four choices and must select the correct spelling. Once a spelling test is finished, Spelling Bee Ninja will update the information associated to the student accordingly with test results, the errors list is updated and the system assumes the student has learned the words spelled correctly during test.
