The spelling bee
Hear a word, build it from tiles. Start with phonics words, move to topic packs — and print a classic dictation sheet for lesson day.
Spelling is hearing in slow motion: the child replays the word and writes each sound down. That is why this bee always SPEAKS the word — never shows it — and why the tiles offer just three extra letters: enough to think, not enough to drown.
