The Kiwanis Club of New Kingston (KCNK) has introduced an exciting new app for kids aged 4 to 9, perfect for learning spelling in a fun way! Sponsored by Grace Kennedy Money Services (GKMS) and Western Union (WU), the KCNK Little Bee Game is a wonderful tool for young learners.

This app can be enjoyed anywhere, without needing an internet connection. It offers three engaging modes: Learning Mode 1, Learning Mode 2, and Competition Mode, each with 10 levels. As you progress, the words get longer, and each level features 15 or more words to master. The words remain the same across all modes within each level.

In the Settings section, students can input their name, age, parish, and school. They can then choose their preferred mode to start learning.

Learning Mode 1 is great for beginners. Kids can spell words by tapping each letter from left to right. The app voices each letter, helping children learn by listening and repeating. If a mistake is made, it's easy to correct. To hear the word again, just tap the little bee icon at the top left. To advance, kids must spell each word correctly and complete all words to finish a level. Levels can be replayed at any time, but early levels must be completed before moving on.

Learning Mode 2 adds a bit more challenge. Here, letters are jumbled, and kids must arrange them to spell the word correctly. If a mistake occurs, it can be undone with a tap. The little bee icon helps replay the word. Like Mode 1, correct spelling is needed to move forward, and levels can be replayed.

Competition Mode is for those ready for a challenge. Letters are jumbled with extra letters thrown in, and kids must spell words quickly. Each word is timed, and the total time for a level is recorded. Ten random words from the level's pool are given, and the goal is to finish as fast as possible. The leaderboard on the main page shows the time spent on each level.

Students can reset the game from the Settings page. It's important to wait until a letter is fully called before selecting the next one. Parents and students can capture the leaderboard and share it with teachers.
