Built by a dad & his daughter Lily Weekly spelling lists become games your kids actually ask to play. Download on iPhone & iPad.
What if your kid ASKED to do spelling homework?
SpellJam was built by Graham and his 10-year-old daughter Lily because spelling homework was boring. Together, they made the app Lily actually wanted to use — and now it's helping families everywhere turn dread into a highlight of the day.
HOW IT WORKS
Add your child's weekly spelling words — type them in, snap a photo of the homework sheet, or speak them aloud. SpellJam then guides kids through a proven cycle:
Study Mode — Hear each word, study it with 3D animated flashcards
Practice Games — Spell words letter by letter with real-time audio feedback
Weekly Test — Simulate the classroom test in a calm, encouraging environment
Progress Tracking — Watch mastery grow from Learning → Practicing → Mastered → Retained
The app focuses extra practice on words kids struggle with and eases off on ones they've nailed. It actually adapts.

OUR STORY
In 2024, Graham's daughter Lily told him spelling homework was the most boring part of her week. Graham is a developer. Two months later, SpellJam existed. Lily was its first (and most demanding) tester. If something wasn't fun enough for a 10-year-old, it didn't ship.
That's still the standard today.
Download SpellJam and turn this week's spelling list into tonight's favourite game.
