Abstract
This study examines the ABC Spelling Magic Short Vowel Word (ABC SMSVW)
application for the iPad in regards to improving student ability to segment and spell words. With
the abundance of technology available for young students, it is necessary to examine the effects
of using technology when teaching literacy skills. In this study, five and six year old students
interacted with the ABC Spelling Magic Short Vowel Word (ABC SMSVW) application for five
minutes a day, three times a week for a month. The study indicated that use of the application
increased student abilities to segment and spell words.
