► DESCRIPTION

GRRAU! PURRR.. Lovely animals are here again. Guess & Spell Animals is a spelling game, where user first taps some blocks away to reveal the hidden image, and then tries to guess what the image is about. Next he/she tries to spell it by placing the correct letters in their spaces. If it gets too challenging, there hint system will help the child to succeed. No scores, no points, no coins. The built-in fun of the gameplay and beautiful images of beautiful animals keep the user's focus and interest in spelling the words correctly.

The app itself is VERY easy to use, so kids can manage with it all by themselves. The scalable and adjustable hint system makes the app suitable for wider age span of children, starting from pre-K kids all the way to 2nd graders with advanced reading and spelling capabilities. It is also a fun game to play together too, and see the joy of succeeding.
