As children progress through the spelling app you may wish to create your own spelling tests for them. This could include a mix of words they have trained in so far, words based on a topic you are covering or a selection of words children find the most challenging.
To create a custom test, first make sure you're signed in to the app and tap ‘Adult Area’. Follow the instructions on screen then swipe through and tap on ‘Create Custom Test’. Give the test a title, tap ‘Save’, and then tap on the plus symbol to add a word to the test.
Each word is added individually as you'll also need to add an audio clip of the word to be used in the test. Once you've added a word, tap ‘Save’ then tap the button on the screen to record your audio. Tap the button again when you've finished recording the word. You can listen back to it and tap the button again to re-record. Tap ‘Continue’ to save the audio and word.
When you've finished adding words to the test, tap ‘Save Test’ at the bottom of the screen.
The test will now appear in the ‘Coach’s Custom Gym’ world which can be found by tapping through the worlds on a learner’s profile.
If you only want certain learners to access the custom test, you can assign learners in the ‘Adult Area’. Open the ‘Adult Area’ and tap ‘Manage Custom Tests’. Choose your custom test and tap ‘Assign’, then tap on the learner profiles to move learners to the ‘Assigned’ column. Learners in this column will be able to access the custom test.
You can also edit the words in the test and delete tests in this area by tapping on the appropriate buttons.
