ACT Spell

App Name:  ACT Spell
Developer:   Cool Tool Apps
Cost:             $2.99

We wouldn’t call this the most elegant app in the app store but it does function well as a tool to teach and reinforce spelling to students with accessibility needs.  You can create custom spelling lists, or use the ones provided.  The settings give you the option to display 1-5 letters.  The student selects the first letter of the word and is then given a new set of letters to select the second letter, and so on.  Button size can be adjusted and visual and audio prompts can be turned on or off.  This app has great potential and can be useful as is, but the sound is not great at all.  Not recommended for students who need auditory support.  Let’s hope for an update that addresses the sound.
