English as an additional language
ESL spelling practice with the English words you already have
For an English learner, a spelling word is three things to learn at once: how it sounds, what it means, and how it is written. Snap Spell keeps all three on the same word from your list.
Free to start: 2 word lists of up to 100 words each. Pro: US$2.99/month, US$19.99/year or US$29.99 once (UK £2.99/£19.99/£29.99; Australia A$4.99/A$29.99/A$49.99).
Snap Spell
Can Snap Spell help with ESL spelling practice?
Yes, for the English words you bring. Every word is read aloud in a clear voice as often as needed, Translate shows its meaning in your language, and Solo Test checks the typed spelling.
Hear it, understand it, then spell it
A simple order for each new list.
- 1 Add the list from the class sheet, a photo, or a message.
- 2 Open each new word: tap Translate to see it in your language, or Define to look it up on the web.
- 3 Set Reading Speed to Slow while the words are new.
- 4 Run Solo Test. Tap Replay as often as you like before typing.
Small things that help English learners
None of these needs a separate mode.
A second chance
A spelling that is close shows “Almost — try again” instead of a wrong mark.
Phrases as well as words
An entry can be a short phrase, such as ice cream, and it is read and checked like a single word.
Missed words return
Words that are hard to hear or remember come back later in Tricky Words.
When the parent is learning English too
In Practice Together, the app says each word, so you only need to compare your child’s answer with the word on the screen. Nobody has to read an unfamiliar word aloud.
