Spelling Fox turns spelling practice into play. Built for children ages 6 to 10, it lets a grown-up choose the words and lets kids learn them through a set of friendly, hands-on games. A GROWN-UP SETS IT UP Behind a parent gate (PIN or Face ID), you create a profile for each child and choose what they practice — grade-level sight words, themed sets like Animals, Food, and Feelings, or your own words. You can even photograph a printed spelling list and the app turns it into a word set for you. KIDS LEARN BY PLAYING Children spell words by tapping letters, arranging syllables, filling in a sentence, matching pictures, or saying the letters out loud. Words become "mastered" only after a child spells them correctly across several sessions, so learning sticks. A story-mode adventure keeps them coming back. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Everything your family creates stays on your device. Speech recognition and photo text-reading happen entirely on-device — nothing is ever uploaded. MADE FOR FAMILIES • Multiple children on one shared device • Progress tracking and mastery for each child • A parent area protected by PIN and Face ID • Works on iPhone and iPad Spelling Fox is free to start. A single optional one-time purchase unlocks every game, every word set, and unlimited child profiles — no subscriptions, ever.
