Problem
Older learners and students with literacy difficulties often find traditional spelling resources childish or unengaging, leading to resistance and low motivation. Speech pathologists, special education teachers, and families lack tools that are both age-appropriate and pedagogically sound for this group, making consistent practice and progress monitoring difficult.
