Congratulations! You're about to give your kids everything they need to master 3rd grade spelling skills, all on their own. By combing the world's first AI-teachers, short lessons, and adaptive practice, children can now catch up and get ahead, all on their own. Start a 7 day free trial to see first hand how much your kids can learn, risk free. We recommend asking your children to complete 5 lessons a day. A little practice every day is the best. Feel free to pursue your passions and dreams (or nap) while students learn.  Our spelling-bee-style adaptive practice has a "secret sauce" learning algorithm, based on the 'spaced repetition learning theory'. It helps knowledge truly stick. Why learn spelling? Developing spelling skills is a highly effective way of improving a child's reading and writing abilities. Bonus: When you start a membership for this app, you unlock all 10+ apps by Class Ace covering 2,500+ skills, and 20+ innovative AI tools. There's no better investment. Features: • 70+ simple read-assist lessons • Effective, adaptive practice. Each student sees a different set of questions that get harder over time. When they make mistakes, the questions change in real-time to maximize learning and minimize frustration, following the ‘spaced repetition’ learning theory. • Text to speech. Tap on any word to have it read out loud. • Auto-play. Sit back and enjoy the whole lesson read to you. • Separate student profiles. • Teacher View: Look at charts of useful metrics. See where students are struggling, and jump in to help. • Gamification. Incredible landscapes, progress bars, and uplifting interfaces motivate students to do their best. Watch your child's grades improve with just a few minutes of regular practice. Learn Spelling was developed by a team of veteran teachers, technologists, and student testers. The app is designed by an ex-Google Product Manager to maximize learning and retention. ======= Learn Spelling is a member of the Class Ace family of apps. One subscription in any Class Ace app unlocks all 15+ apps, over 2,500+ lessons covering K-6 subjects, and 20+ innovative AI tools.

Subscriptions automatically renew unless they are turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period in account settings.

Yet over 50% of 4th graders weren't proficient in 4th grade common core standards in the US in 2017. Our own kids were struggling to keep up. We built Learn Spelling for them, and now they are excelling on their own. Your kids can too. ======= Help & Support Problems, questions, or want to get in touch?
