PLD Literacy and Learning
Spell Star 1A: CVC Words is the first in the four-game series from PLD Literacy & Learning. Developed for 5-6 year olds by Australian speech pathologist Diana Rigg, this fun game teaches the spelling of CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words like mat, dog and sit. Note: This is the ‘lite’ version which includes full access to the first level, while other levels are locked. Due to limitations with the Chrome Web Store, we’re not currently able to offer in-app purchases to unlock subsequent levels, however when Google add this functionality, we will update the app so you can unlock subsequent levels or purchase the full version. This game gives young spellers a chance to rehearse their single word spelling skills. Your child (or student) will also gain familiarity with phonic sounds (instead of letter names) and as their confidence grows, they'll progress through the app's game interface, learning slightly more challenging words! While playing Spell Star, children will also get practice with sounding out words, which is a key foundation skill for strong reading and spelling skills later on. What is PLD Literacy & Learning?

Each game increases in difficulty as the child progresses through the levels.
