Latin roots: spelling bee words

Words built from Latin parts: port (carry), tract (pull), spect (look), rupt (break), dict (say), struct (build), ject (throw), scrib (write).

Bee Practice says each word, then a sentence where there is one, and you pick the right spelling from three boxes. No typing. Two first-try rights and a word is spelled for good on this device. Running a bee? Pronouncer mode shows each word for a grown-up to read, and prints cards.
