Penpoints: Spelling Practice

PenPoints: Empowering Kids To Practice Spelling and Handwriting!

Designed for young students in primary / elementary school (from 6 to 12 years old), PenPoints allows practice of physical “pen & paper” handwriting, using AI to dictate lists of words and provide instant feedback from a photo of handwritten words.

It’s the perfect tool for children to enhance their spelling and handwriting skills autonomously, without requiring adult supervision.

For whom?

- children can practice independently with a fun and rewarding app experience

- teachers can use the app in class and for homeworks, to boost frequency and interest for spelling

- parents do not need to be present but can review results and assign additional exercises

Key Features:

- Personalised Learning: Aligns with British and American curriculums and year groups to deliver relevant word lists for children to practice

- AI-Powered Feedback: Using Optical Character Recognition (OCR), the app analyzes photos of handwritten words, compares them to the dictated list, and provides instant scores and feedback.

- Parental Insights: Results are automatically emailed to parents, complete with a photo of the exercise, allowing them to review and offer additional guidance when needed.

- Rewarding Progress: Children earn PenPoints for each completed exercise, encouraging continuous improvement and making learning fun!

- In-class & at home: teachers and parents can co-manage a student’s profile to combine in-class activities, teacher-assigned homeworks or additional exercises.

How It Works:

- Easy Setup: Parent or Teacher creates an account for their child/class on any iPhone or iPad.

- Curriculum-Based Practice: The app dictates curriculum-aligned and age-appropriate words for the child to write on paper.

- Independent Workstation: Teacher can create a “SpellStation” challenge where a group of students compete on a selection of exercises in a fun and autonomous spelling competition.

- Photo Assessment: Children snap a picture of their work, and our AI “teacher” evaluates the handwriting and spelling for accuracy.

- Instant Results: The app provides scores and detailed feedback to the child while parents receive a report via email.

Why PenPoints?

- Boosts confidence by enabling autonomous learning.

- Encourages neat handwriting and accurate spelling.
