DESCRIPTION
SpellBee Kids makes learning to spell exciting and rewarding for kids in grades 1 through 6.
With 600 carefully chosen words across 6 grade levels, SpellBee Kids helps kids build spelling confidence through fun, game-like practice — complete with XP points, badges, and a leveling system that keeps them coming back.
PRACTICE MODE
Unlimited practice with helpful hints — tap to hear the word spoken aloud, reveal the definition, or hear it used in a sentence. Missed words automatically repeat so every word gets mastered.
TEST MODE
Put those skills to the test. Choose 10, 20, or 50 words in a timed test. Earn bonus XP for speed and accuracy. See a detailed breakdown of every word after the test.
XP AND LEVELING
Kids earn XP for every word they spell correctly. Level up from Recess Rookie all the way to National Champion across 9 exciting ranks.
BADGES AND ACHIEVEMENTS
Unlock 12 collectible badges — get a 5-word streak, score 100% on a test, spell 100 words total, and more. Every badge is a milestone worth celebrating.
CLEAR AUDIO PRONUNCIATION
Every word is spoken clearly using Apple's built-in speech engine. Kids hear the word, a definition, and an example sentence — just like a real spelling bee.
