SpellSolve: Independent Spelling Toolkit

SpellSolve is a classroom tool that guides students through a step-by-step spelling strategy (e.g., sound it out, use a reference chart, try alternative patterns) before asking a teacher. It replaces the 'just try' approach with a structured, time-efficient process that builds long-term spelling independence.
