Little Bee

The Kiwanis Club of New Kingston (KCNK) has launched an exciting spelling app for kids aged 4 to 9, called the KCNK Little Bee Game. Sponsored by Grace Kennedy Money Services (GKMS) and Western Union (WU), this app is perfect for young learners to improve their spelling skills in a fun and engaging way.

The KCNK Little Bee Game offers three different modes: Learning Mode 1, Learning Mode 2, and Competition Mode. Each mode features 10 levels, with words becoming longer as you progress. Each level includes at least 15 words to learn, and the words remain the same across all modes.

In the Settings section, students can enter their name, age, parish, and school. They can then choose which mode they want to play.

In Learning Mode 1, children learn to spell by tapping each letter of the word from left to right. The app pronounces each letter out loud, helping kids to learn as they spell. If a mistake is made, it can be easily undone by tapping on the error. To hear the word again, simply tap the little bee icon at the top left of the screen. To advance, students must spell each word correctly before moving on to the next, and all words must be spelled correctly to complete a level. Levels can be replayed at any time, but early levels must be completed before moving to later ones.

Learning Mode 2 challenges students with jumbled letters. They must rearrange the letters to spell the given word correctly. Mistakes can be corrected by tapping on them, and the word can be replayed by tapping the little bee icon. As in Learning Mode 1, each word must be spelled correctly to progress, and all words must be completed to finish a level. Levels can be replayed, but early levels must be completed first.

Competition Mode adds an extra challenge with jumbled letters and additional distracting letters. Students are timed as they spell 10 random words from the level's pool. The goal is to complete each level as quickly as possible. The leaderboard on the main page shows the time spent on each level.

Players can reset the game from the Settings page. It's important to wait until a letter is fully pronounced before selecting the next one. Students and parents can take screenshots of the leaderboard to share with teachers.
