FOR STUDENTS
Practice & Test Modes
Hear each word spoken aloud, then type your answer. Practice mode gives you multiple chances to get it right, while Test mode checks what you've really learned. Instant feedback after every word keeps you moving forward.
Four Fun Spelling Games
- Word Search: Find your spelling words hidden in a letter grid
- Spelling Choice: Hear a word and pick the correct spelling from four options
- Fill in the Blanks: Complete words with missing letters after hearing them spoken
- Unscramble: Tap shuffled letters back into the right order
25 Achievement Badges
Earn trophies for perfect scores, practice streaks, daily habits, and more. Badges appear right on your word list so you can show off your hard work.
FOR PARENTS & TEACHERS
Build Custom Word Lists
Create as many lists as you need; one per grade level, subject, or week. Add words with definitions and example sentences, or look them up automatically. Share lists with other families using the built-in export feature.
Record Words in Your Own Voice
Record yourself saying each word and its example sentence. Hearing a familiar voice makes a real difference for younger learners.
Track Every Session
View a full history of every practice and test session, including which words were missed. After any session, jump straight into practicing just the missed words with one tap.
Flexible Settings
Choose the reading voice, adjust speech speed, set how many attempts students get per word, and enable handwriting mode for Apple Pencil on iPad.
