Spelling.Live: Spelling Test

Spelling.Live turns your child's weekly spelling list from school into five calm minutes a day.

Take a photo of the spelling list, or pick one of ours, and your child practices those exact words by writing, typing, saying or choosing them, on screen or on paper. When they get stuck, help arrives one step at a time, so they finish the word themselves.

WHY FAMILIES USE IT
• Their real school spelling words, not a generic list
• Handwriting checked on the screen with a finger or stylus, or on paper with a photo
• Spelling test practice: words come back just before they'd be forgotten, so Friday's test isn't the end of them
• A checkpoint every three weeks shows whether a spelling pattern has really stuck
• A weekly progress email that tells you what to practice next
• Fun spelling games and coins they earn by practicing first

FOUR WAYS TO PRACTICE EACH WORD
• Write it: write the word by hand and Spelling.Live reads the handwriting
• Type it: an on-screen keyboard and letter tiles for younger children
• Say it: spell the word out loud, letter by letter
• Pick it: choose the right spelling from misspellings kids really make
Every word is read aloud, with a sentence that shows what it means.

HELP THAT TEACHES, NOT JUST GRADES
A wrong answer isn't the end. Your child gets a clean first try, then a flash of the word, the tricky letters picked out, and a gentle tip about the mistake they actually made, such as a missing letter or a sound spelled the way it's said. You see which spelling patterns keep causing trouble, from "ie" and "ei" to "-tion" and silent letters.

A WEEK THAT RUNS ITSELF
Set up the week in a minute and Spelling.Live plans a short session each day: learn the words, practice them, then a test at the end of the week. Prefer to keep it simple? Practice whenever you like instead.

PAPER PRACTICE TOO
Print a practice pack with look-cover-write-check, a crossword or word search and the Friday test. Your child writes on paper and you snap a photo to grade it, so screen time stays short.

KINDERGARTEN TO 5TH GRADE
Ready-made lists by grade, from short-vowel words and first sight words in kindergarten to -able and -ible in 5th grade, plus Dolch and Fry sight word lists. Word parts break long words into pieces, and word meanings build vocabulary.

AMERICAN ENGLISH, BUILT IN
Set your child to US English and the app follows it: American spellings like color and favorite are accepted, and words are read in an American voice. UK, Australian and Indian English are there too.

DYSLEXIA AND LEARNING SUPPORT
Dyslexia-friendly reading fonts, larger text and spacing, color overlays, a slower voice and gentler handwriting checks. Every setting is per child.

FOR TEACHERS AND TUTORS
Add a class, print login cards, set lists for the whole group and grade a paper class test from photos. Import students from Google Classroom.
