Spelling.Live
United Kingdom
What it is
Spelling.Live turns school spelling lists into daily practice for children in KS1 and KS2. Families can make lists by photographing a school sheet, pasting text, or entering words. Children can practise through handwriting, typing, speech, answer choices, tracing, or paper activities. A weekly Learning plan schedules practice and can follow weekly, fluid, or classic rhythms. Spaced repetition brings back words that need more practice, while difficulty adjusts to the child’s stage. AI features offer spelling tips, picture hints, sentence generation, and handwriting marking. Teachers and tutors can create classes, assign lists, review group reports, scan paper tests in batches, and import pupil rosters from Google Classroom. Per-child settings include OpenDyslexic or Lexend fonts, colour overlays, adjustable spacing, and slower speech. The service is available on Android, iOS, and web. Free sign-up provides 200 credits, which expire after 90 days without a practice session. One-time packs cost £4, paid once for 400 credits or £20, paid once for 5,000 credits; each is valid for 12 months, with no subscription or renewal.
