How Bee Practice works
- Peabody says the word slowly, the way a bee's pronouncer does, then uses it in a sentence when the list has one.
- You pick the right spelling from three big boxes. The two wrong ones are spellings kids really write (necesary, seperate), never a second right answer: a word that sounds the same is only a box when the sentence tells you which one.
- A wrong box wobbles and waits. Two wrong and Peabody shows the right one and spells it out, letter by letter.
- Ten words a round, easiest first. Two first-try rights and a word is spelled for good, so the pile of words left keeps shrinking.
- Nothing is typed and nothing is sent: the pile is kept on this device, with no account.
