How to use pippo.app well in your lessons. Manage classes, add dictations, follow progress.
pippo.app helps you support spelling. Pupils listen to sentences and write them on paper. The app follows their progress and motivates them with stars. As a teacher, you can create classes, create or add dictations for your classes and keep an eye on how all your pupils are doing.
Important: Pupils write on paper, not on the screen. The app is there to read aloud, follow progress and motivate.
Create a dictation to match the topic of the week. Pupils practise at home, you see the results.
Add a dictation to the class as homework. Parents support their child, you follow the progress.
Stronger pupils get dictations from the next year up, others practise with easier texts.
Use the results before parents’ evenings to show each child’s progress.
A fixed dictation time
Set a fixed time each week (e.g. Tuesday and Thursday). A routine helps pupils get ready for it.
Class star challenge
Collect the class’s stars on a board. That motivates and builds team spirit, without singling out individual pupils.
Your own dictations for spelling words
Create dictations with this week’s spelling words. That way you link what you teach directly with practice at home.
