## What is Spellcast?

**SpellCast — Spelling Practice for Kids**

Your child hears a word spoken out loud, used in a sentence, then spells it by tapping letters. Get it right and they earn XP and points. Earn enough and they unlock rewards in the Rewards Shop. Simple to start. Surprisingly hard to put down.

SpellCast covers the full DfE statutory word lists — Reception through to Year 6 — so every word your child practises is a word they actually need to know for school.

No more battles over spelling practice. Kids actually want to do it.

**WHAT YOUR CHILD WILL DO**
- Listen to words read aloud in a clear UK voice, used in a sentence
- Spell each word by selecting letters
- Earn XP, level up, and spend points in the Rewards Shop
- Work through all DfE statutory spelling lists from Reception to Year 6

Add your child's class spelling list and watch it turn into a gang of villains. Spell each word correctly and defeat them one by one.

**HOW IT HELPS THEM IMPROVE**

SpellCast uses spaced retrieval — words your child finds difficult come back more often until they stick, while words they have mastered appear less frequently. This is how lasting spelling knowledge is built, not just cramming for Friday's test.

**BUILT FOR UK SCHOOLS AND FAMILIES**
- Covers DfE word lists for Reception to Year 6
- UK English throughout — British spelling, British voice
- Designed to complement classroom spelling work

*SpellCast turns the words kids need to learn into the words they actually want to practise.*
