Simplex Spelling HD - A New and Noteworthy Educational Spelling App
September 14, 2011 in Education
[prMac.com] Edmonton, Canada - Simplex Spelling HD uses a new "reverse phonics" approach that was designed and developed by Dr. Lisa Welburn Ph.D. to help students learn "How to spell" English sight words. The reverse phonics approach has then been combined with contextually relevant spelling hints that help explain why English words are spelled in a particular manner. These two unique approaches to teaching spelling have been seamlessly merged into an effective teaching tool that has garnered Simplex Spelling HD numerous rave reviews and a feature in the "New and Noteworthy" section of the Greek App Store.
Simplex Spelling's "reverse phonics" approach takes phonemes (the smallest units of sound) and converts them into different letter combinations (phonograms) for each sound. These reverse phonics phonogram lists are then presented only when needed to help aid a student with all the possible phonetic spellings for a word. Many of the possible choices are then identified as being unsuitable for the word being spelled due to their length, or due to other spelling rules of the English language. Thus leaving the student with only a few viable ways to spell each word, but more importantly leaving the student with more understanding behind why each English word is spelled in a particular manner.
Simplex Spelling HD uses an approach to spelling that appeals to kids and students learning English as a second language. The multi-sensory approach is fun and easy to use and appeals to audio, visual, and tactile learners.
