PRODUCT INSTRUCTIONS

STARTING YOUR SPEAK & SPELL

Press the ON key to start your Speak & Spell! Four tones will play at startup to indicate the power is on. Speak & Spell starts on SPELL mode by default. The game will read out your current level, SPELL LEVEL A at the beginning.
You can also select your difficulty level at any time by pressing the A, B, C, or D key – A being the easiest level, D the most difficult.
Press OFF to shut the Speak & Spell unit off.
Press VOLUME to adjust the sound level.

SPELL MODE

To play SPELL mode, press SPELL/ON and then GO. The game will direct you to “Spell…” – after the word is read out, use the letter keys to spell out the word. Once it is complete, press ENTER to have your spelling checked. You will get two chances to spell the word correctly, and afterward, the computer will read out the word again and the correct spelling.
If you make a mistake, you can press ERASE to backspace on the display and enter the correct letters.
Each round consists of 10 words, and your score will display after the round is complete. The console will read off how many were correct and how many were wrong.
Press REPLAY at any time to restart the round with the same set of words. If you want to keep playing with a new set of words, press GO again.
Press REPEAT to hear the last word played.

SAY IT MODE

Press SAY IT to begin SAY IT mode – like in SPELL mode, you can choose your difficulty level. After choosing Level A, B, C, or D, press GO to begin. This activity is designed to provide practice in reading, enunciating, and spelling words.
The game will have the word show on screen, and there will be a brief pause for you to “say it”. Then the game will play the pronunciation after. A new word will show and follow the pattern. After the set is read out, you will be asked to spell the same set of words.

LETTER MODE

Press the LETTER key to begin LETTER mode. A letter is randomly selected, then shown and pronounced. After the first letter is read, the child can enter additional letters if they choose. This mode can help the child identify letters and reinforce the sounds of each letter.

SECRET CODE MODE

Press SECRET CODE to code or decode words and phrases. After typing in your word, press ENTER and the word will be scrambled into code. You can also enter coded words – key in the letters, then press ENTER to decode.

MYSTERY WORD MODE

Press MYSTERY WORD to play the mystery word spelling game. A word from the Level C or D list is randomly selected, and blank spaces will appear on the screen representing the amount of letters in the word. The child will have a total of 7 incorrect guesses before they need to complete the word.

CLUE

You can use the CLUE key to get one free letter to solve the mystery word.

WORD LIST

The vocabulary of the Speak & Spell ELA is divided into four levels of difficulty. Level A is the easiest and Level D is the most difficult. The word list for each level is included below.
