What it is

PenPoints is a spelling and handwriting practice app for primary and elementary school children. A child writes a dictated word on paper, submits a photo, and receives feedback scored using OCR. The maker describes it as suited to ages 6–12, with parents and teachers assigning exercises and reviewing results. Wordlists can reflect school year and curriculum; parents and teachers can create custom lists, while rule-specific lists are for teachers. Results can include definitions, synonyms, and antonyms. Teachers can run SpellStation challenges. Without a school plan, teachers may send one homework exercise per week, use 90 SpellStation credits, run up to five live assessments, and assign up to 30 individual exercises. Automated homework and live class assessment are described as coming soon on the teacher page. The app is free on iOS and Android phones and tablets, and requires an internet connection. The maker says it complies with GDPR and COPPA, does not sell or share user data, and shows no in-app ads. One account does not currently support multiple children.
