Add your own spelling words. Your student hears each one read aloud, types their answer, and gets scored instantly. WonderSpell is the spelling test app where you choose the words and see exactly which ones your student has mastered. Works on iPhone and iPad. No generic word lists. No ads. Just the words your child actually needs to learn. HOW IT WORKS 1. Sign in with Apple and create a profile for each child (up to five) 2. Build a test using words you choose - type them in or scan a printed worksheet with your camera 3. Hand the device to your child and let them practice in study mode 4. Review their results and track word mastery over time SCAN WORD LISTS INSTANTLY Skip the typing. Take a photo of your child's printed spelling list and WonderSpell extracts the words automatically. Point your camera at a worksheet, textbook page, or handwritten list and the words are added to a test in seconds. WHAT MAKES WONDERSPELL DIFFERENT - Your words, not ours: Every test uses the words you provide, whether from a classroom list, a textbook, or a worksheet you photograph with the camera - Audio pronunciation: Each word is read aloud with clear pronunciation so your child hears it before they spell it - Smart mastery tracking: The app weighs recent performance more heavily than older results, showing you which words are truly learned and which still need practice - Hints that encourage effort: Hints are available when your child gets stuck, but using one reduces the score for that word, encouraging them to try first - Built for families: Parents sign in with Apple and manage everything. Children never create accounts or share personal information - Works on iPhone and iPad: Full experience on both devices so your family can practice anywhere SMART PRACTICE Dynamic test generation focuses on the words your child struggles with most, so practice time is spent where it matters. Words they have already mastered appear less often, keeping sessions productive and frustration-free. HOMESCHOOL FRIENDLY WonderSpell fits naturally into any homeschool routine. Create custom word lists that match your curriculum, track each student's progress independently, and let your children practice at their own pace. One subscription covers up to five learner profiles. NO ADS. EVER. WonderSpell is a clean, focused experience. There are no banner ads, no interstitials, no data harvesting. Your family's privacy comes first. WORD MASTERY YOU CAN SEE After each session, WonderSpell updates your child's mastery level for every word. You can see at a glance which words are strong, which are improving, and which need more attention. The app identifies weak words automatically so you know exactly where to focus next. BUILT BY A PARENT WonderSpell was built by a parent who wanted a better way to help his own children with weekly spelling homework. It is made with care by For His Glory LLC. FREE TO TRY WonderSpell includes a 7-day free trial with full access to every feature. After the trial, a monthly subscription keeps everything available.
