BeePals
A friendly spelling bee for ages 6–8: hear a word, see its picture, and spell it by tapping the letters in order. Three helper buttons let you hear it again, hear what it means, or hear it in a sentence — the way a real spelling bee works. On-device; nothing leaves your device.

Meet the cast
BeePals' cast each embody one part of a real spelling bee: Beatrix reads the word, Sona sounds it out, Pixa shows what it means (you spell the words you understand), and Senta puts it in a sentence.
Beatrix
(Guide) listen first — hear the whole word before you spell it
Sona
Sound it out — break the word into its sounds and blend them (phonics)
Pixa
The picture — you spell the words you can picture (the Meaning Rule at 6–8)
Senta
The sentence — hear the word used, to catch the right one
