It diagnoses, it doesn't just mark. Every mistake is matched to the spelling pattern behind it — the dropped schwa, the y-to-i rule, the silent letter — so parents and teachers see the rule to teach, not just a list of wrong words. The words behind a weak pattern become the next practice set, and spaced repetition brings tricky words back at the right moment.

Paper and screen finally talk to each other. Photograph a marked paper test with Paper practice and the app reads the ticks and crosses, updates progress, and queues the misses. Or run a Dictation test: the app reads the words aloud, the child writes on paper, and a photo marks the page automatically.

Teachers run whole classes. Bulk upload a class roster (paste one pupil name per line) to create logins with printable QR labels; assign lists with due dates to the class or ability groups; see class accuracy, trickiest words, and who's behind. Full details in the Teachers & Classes guide (https://spelling.live/help/teachers).

Free to start, on web, iOS and Android, at spelling.live (https://spelling.liSpelling.Live turns a child’s weekly school spelling list into five minutes of playful practice a day. It’s built for primary children aged 5 to 11 (Reception to Year 6), their parents and teachers, and is aligned to the National Curriculum. Try the two-minute interactive tour (https://spelling.live/how-it-works).

Photograph the school’s spelling sheet and the app reads it in. Or paste a list, pick a built-in list (Year 1-6 statutory words, KS1 common exception words, Reception phonics, 42 phonics lists by sound, 11+), or run a free Skills Check that works out which spelling patterns a child has secured. Lists are spelled the way the child’s school spells: UK, US, Australian or Indian English.

A plan for the week. A weekly learning plan gives one short activity a day: type it, handwrite it, say it, pick it, look-hear-and-remember, word meanings, word parts, sound boxes or sentence building, plus games. Stuck? Help arrives a step at a time, not the answer. AI reads handwriting and checks letter formation, asking when unsure rather than guessing.

It diagnoses, it doesn’t just mark. Every mistake is matched to the rule behind it (the dropped schwa, the y-to-i rule, the silent letter), so you see the rule to teach. Spaced repetition brings tricky words back, and a three-week checkpoint tests practised words and new words with the same pattern. A curriculum view tracks every Appendix 1 rule, marked Secure only on unaided written spelling.

Paper and screen talk to each other. Photograph a marked paper test and the app reads the ticks and crosses. In a Dictation test the app reads the words, the child writes on paper, and a photo marks it. Or print a practice pack for a screen-free week.

Teachers run whole classes. Import a class from Google Classroom or your school MIS (via Wonde), or paste a roster, and print QR login labels; assign lists with due dates to the class or ability groups; mark a whole class’s paper test in one scan; see accuracy, trickiest words and who’s behind. Details in the Teachers & Classes guide (https://spelling.live/he lp/teachers).
