Spell a Bee is an iPad app designed to help elementary students learn and retain spelling words through structured practice. Kids hear each word, see its spelling, explore its meaning, and practice until they can spell it independently. The app uses the Leitner spaced repetition method to ensure long-term retention, bringing back tricky words more frequently while letting mastered ones fade.
The app includes a placement test to match each child's level, a virtual spelling bee stage to test knowledge, and a parent dashboard to track progress. Kids earn coins for correct answers to spend on collectibles, and daily streaks encourage consistent practice. The maker built it with Claude to code the Flutter app and conduct research.
