Teach your kids to spell with SpellBug! SpellBug is an interactive adventure for children learning to spell and read.

Selecting the right letter will cause the letter to move into place in the answer blocks. Selecting the wrong letters will cause the letters to disappear until only the correct letter remains. The child repeats the process until the word is spelled completely. The next word in the list then loads automatically.

SpellBug supports an unlimited number of words. It is installed with 60 words grouped into three levels (Easy, Smart, and Genius) so that the learning experience can be configured to the level of the child. Additionally, a Custom word list with images and sounds can be created so that the learning is tailored to the individual child.
