## Description

Spelling Boost is an engaging, kid-friendly Chrome extension that turns spelling practice into a fun, effective learning routine for primary school children. The app uses clear audio dictation, customizable word lists (including camera-scanned paper lists), handwriting input, instant feedback, and visual progress tracking to build literacy, vocabulary, and confidence. With definitions, example sentences, and multisensory exercises, it supports phonics-based learning and helps students conquer irregular spellings, homophones, and silent letters.

Designed to save parents time and reduce test anxiety, Spelling Boost automatically marks dictation, sends smart reminders, and provides detailed progress reports to pinpoint strengths and areas for improvement. Multi-language support (over 70 languages) and a simple, child-friendly interface make it ideal for homework, homeschooling, and targeted test prep—helping children become independent, confident spellers.
