Four spellings to look at closely
- apple: notice the two p letters and the final e.
- banana: say the letters slowly: b-a-n-a-n-a.
- strawberry: notice the double r near the end.
- pineapple: spot the familiar word apple after pine.
Say the word normally before looking closely at its letters. A letter-by-letter spelling check and pronunciation are different tasks. In the game, use Listen again to hear the word.
Use singular and plural fruit names
Compare “a pear” with “two pears”, and “an apple” with “three apples”. For berry words, the ending changes: one strawberry, two strawberries; one blueberry, two blueberries; one raspberry, two raspberries. The game asks for the singular spelling shown on each card.
Use the model “I would like a ___” with pear, banana or peach, and “I would like an ___” with apple, orange or apricot. Then ask the child to choose a fruit and make their own sentence.
Try the fruit spelling game
- Open the free first stage; no sign-in is needed.
- New words show a spelling demonstration. Later encounters hide the remaining letters.
- Read the picture and clue, listen, then type one letter at a time.
- Use Show spelling if stuck. The first use in each run explains that a helped attempt does not count as correct or earn XP.
The stage contains 40 encounters with these 20 words; at least 32 correct completions clear it. You can also practise without a timer through Settings → Free practice. Returning to a word later allows another independent attempt.
Common questions
Are the pictures and words the same as those in the game?
Yes. This list is generated from the first stage’s word records and artwork. The spelling game adds pronunciation and letter-by-letter input.
Should a beginner learn all 20 fruit names at once?
Use a smaller set if needed. Start with three familiar fruits and add more when the child can identify them. The public picture list can be used separately from the game.
