Spelling.Live turns your child's weekly school spelling list into five calm minutes a day. Photograph their list, or pick one of ours, and your child practises those exact words by writing, typing, saying or choosing them, on screen or on paper. When they get stuck, help arrives one step at a time, so they can work out and finish the word themselves. PRACTISE THIS WEEK. REMEMBER IT LATER. Spelling.Live doesn't just prepare children for Friday's test. Words and spelling patterns come back at the right time, and a three-week checkpoint checks whether they've really stuck, including whether your child can use the same pattern in words they've never been given before. WHY FAMILIES USE IT ⢠Their real school spellings, not just generic word lists ⢠Five-minute practice sessions that fit around family life ⢠Writing, typing, speaking and choosing, so children can practise in different ways ⢠Snap a photo of their spelling test and have it marked for you ⢠Handwriting checked as they write on screen ⢠Step-by-step help when they're stuck, without simply giving them the answer ⢠Words return before they're forgotten ⢠Three-week checkpoints show which spelling patterns have really stuck ⢠Weekly progress emails show how they're doing and what needs more practice ⢠Practice reminders can be set for each child ⢠Games and coins they earn by practising first FROM FIRST SOUNDS TO 11+ Start with Reception phonics, Sound Parts and early VC and CVC words, then move through curriculum spelling patterns, KS2 statutory words and 11+ practice. Use your child's school list or choose from built-in UK curriculum word lists and spelling patterns. MADE FOR DIFFERENT LEARNERS Children can practise by writing, typing, speaking or choosing. Support for dyslexia and SEN includes reading-friendly fonts, coloured overlays and gentler handwriting checks. UK, US, Australian and Indian English are supported. FOR TEACHERS Set lists for a whole class, print personalised test sheets, and photograph completed tests so they're marked for you to check. SAFE FOR CHILDREN No ads. Children's data is never sold. Made in the UK by AK Shah Ltd. Free to download.
