Squeebles Spelling Connect
What Squeebles Spelling Connect is
Squeebles Spelling Connect gives children structured spelling practice using more than 10,000 common English words and over 160 curriculum-based lists. Children can work on curriculum lists, teacher or parent-created lists, previously misspelled words, and assigned homework. Adults can add words or short phrases to custom lists and record audio for them. Activities include word searches, a Word of the Day game, collectible Squeebles, and the Sky Glider mini-game. SEN options provide the OpenDyslexic font, optional coloured overlays, and timer controls. Parents, tutors, and teachers can assign work remotely and review test results, per-word statistics, and progress. Tutor and school accounts support classes or groups, and school accounts can add multiple teachers. The app runs on iOS and Android, with browser access on PC, Mac, and Chromebook. Web users can play mobile-recorded audio, but cannot record custom audio or start a subscription. Family monthly access costs £2.99 a month for up to four children, with a seven-day trial.
