If you're looking to ace your next spelling test or just want to improve your spelling, Spell It is here to help you do just that. Add the words from this week's homework, and we'll turn them into practice you'll actually finish. Whether you're a student working through a weekly spelling list, a parent helping with homework at the kitchen table, or an adult brushing up on your own, Spell It works with the words you already need to learn — at any grade level. KNOW WHICH WORDS ARE STICKING Every word carries a confidence level — low, medium, or high — that rises as you practice. Every list shows its makeup at a glance, so you can see what's solid, what's shaky, and what to work on next. Today's practice picks out the words that need attention and points you at the activity that will actually move them. FIVE WAYS TO PRACTICE • Spelling Test Each of your spelling words is pronounced just like a standard spelling test. Enter each word from your spelling list one by one until you've spelled all the words. • Flashcards Flip through your spelling list one word at a time to reveal each definition, then mark whether you got it right. A quick, low-pressure way to review before test day. • Fill in the Blank Each of your spelling words has a letter missing. You must fill in the blank for each of your spelling words. • Word Scramble We scrambled all the words in your spelling list. Rearrange the letters back into the correct order. • Word Search Spell It places words from your spelling list into your very own word search. Find every word in the word bank to complete the puzzle. A PROFILE FOR EVERY SPELLER Add a profile for everyone practicing. Each one keeps their own lists, their own progress, and their own practice history, so everybody sees only their own words. NEVER MISS TEST DAY Set a test date and pick a time, and a daily reminder says who still has work to do and exactly how many words are left before the test. EVERY WORD YOU'VE PRACTICED, IN ONE PLACE My Words collects every word from every list into one searchable library, grouped by how well it's known. It matches the misspellings that were actually typed, too, so a word is easy to find whether or not it came out right. TRACK PROGRESS OVER TIME Add as many words to as many lists as you want — keep a separate list for every week or every subject. After each activity you'll see your results question by question, along with the time spent practicing and how scores have moved. Practice a few minutes a night instead of cramming the morning of the test. Every attempt is recorded, so you can watch scores improve as test day gets closer. SPELL IT PRO Every practice activity is free, along with your first profile. Spell It PRO adds up to six profiles, pronunciations recorded in your own voice, definitions you write yourself, and your full practice history. ----- Privacy Policy: https://spellit.app/privacy Terms and Conditions: https://spellit.app/terms
