The Twinkl Spelling Bee App allows you to set up a learner profile for a number of children. This allows children to work on their spellings at their own pace and allows you to customise tests and see progress.
When you first log in to the Twinkl Spelling Bee App, you'll see the options ‘Add Learner’ and ‘Adult Area’. Tap ‘Add Learner’ to create a profile. You can create up to 5 profiles in ‘Try!’ mode and up to 100 profiles if you've subscribed or if you're signed in using your Twinkl account details.
To add a learner, create an avatar then add a name and a colour for the background. This makes each profile easy to identify when children are using the app.
When you tap ‘Save’, you'll see an option to choose either your own test settings, or use the default settings on the app. If you tap ‘Edit’ you can decide on a number of settings including whether or not the student is shown the word before they have to spell it, the keyboard layout displayed in a test, and use Twinkl’s audio when a word has been spelt correctly or record your own.
When you've made your choice, you'll see your student on the screen. They can now tap on their profile to begin using the app.
You can continue adding learners, one at a time, by tapping ‘Add Learners’.
You can edit the profiles on the app at any time by tapping on ‘Adult Area’. Follow the instructions on screen, swipe to the ‘Edit Profiles’ box and tap ‘Go’. Swipe across to find the profile you want to edit and tap on it. You can edit the name and background colour. Tap the settings cog to edit test settings or reset the personalised options to the default options. When you've finished using the settings cog, tap on the profile icon at the top right of the screen to return to the profile.
To delete a profile tap on the profile and tap the trash can symbol at the top right of the screen.
