Happi Spells

This is a nice app for spelling and learning how to interact with a crossword puzzle. The cute photos give nice visual support for the word that should be entered. Need more support then the settings allow you to give a "letter shadow" in each tile….then just drag and drop the appropriate letters to spell the word. I especially like the setting option to make the dragging tiles slightly larger than the space where they need to be entered. This is a nice feature that will help those students that have some fine motor difficulty. Great one and I definitely recommend it. actbyJackieBryla

The students I work with enjoyed using this app to practice putting letters and sounds together to make words. They feel like they are big kids doing cross words. It has been a great confidence booster in my struggling students.

Happi Spells allows players to practice their spelling skills in a crossword puzzle format. The player drags a letter tile to the area in the puzzle; the letter stays in the square when placed correctly, or pops out with an auditory cue that it was incorrect, and the player can try again. As each word is spelled correctly, the word is read aloud. It is very intuitive with great graphics. This would be a fun and different way to practice spelling.
