Need a little help in the area of spelling? Then Chicktionary Lite is one app you need to enhance your child's spelling scores. This adorable game allows your student to insert a correct letter enabling spelling mastery. The chicken bobs its head and clucks when kids use one of the letters to make a word. There is a "beak sneak" option that will fill in one letter of the word if the child is stuck. This allows a prompt to still allow the child to complete the remaining letters. What a great way to use some down time especially if they are waiting in the car or with mom for a doctor's appointment.
