Spelling Mix 2
Finally, we have Spelling Mix 2, a fun educational Windows PC and phones game for helping kids learn how to spell.
Spelling Mix 2 is an educational app designed for language and literacy development at pre-school, nursery, school, and at home. It includes over 300 common english nouns in 8 different languages! To inspire and motivate the child we use the following three activities:
– ALPHABETICAL ORDER This exercise is for the children who are more advanced in reading and letter recognition. You can choose only letters to be sorted in alphabetical order, words and even words which starts the same. You can choose to show a section of the alphabet for assistance.
– CAR RACING The child then has to tap on the letters in the correct order to spell the word. When they find the right letter the barrier opens and the car can pass through. If they choose the wrong letter or are too slow the barrier closes and the car crashes! When the word is spelled, it will be transported away by a car.
– GUESS THE WORD This is a “hangman” exercise in which the child clicks on the letters to form a word.
You can get the game for only $.99, down from $2.99, for the next 7 days on Windows 10 devices only.
So, that’s it for this week’s Windows Store Red Stripe deals. Keep checking the Deals Hub, and WinBeta, to keep up with the best deals on awesome new apps, games, and media content.
