Help your child master spelling. One word at a time.
StudySpell is a free-to-try online spelling practice app for kids in kindergarten through 8th grade (K-8): it reads each word aloud, your child types what they hear, and they see right away whether they got it.
How it works ✨
Create a word list
Type words manually, snap a photo of the homework sheet, or upload a PDF or Word doc.
Hear it, spell it
The app reads each word aloud. Your child listens and types what they hear, just like a real spelling test.
Track progress
See scores over time, spot the most-missed words, and retry missed words until they stick.
Worried it's all games?
Every game uses the same words as your child's spelling test, and every round is scored. The parent dashboard shows which words stuck and which need another pass.

What parents tell us 💬
“I love that I can just take a picture of my son's spelling list and he's ready to go. I don't have to sit there reading every word to him over and over. He can practice independently, and I can see which words he needs help with. Such a simple idea, but it's been a huge help!”
“Spelling practice used to be a battle in our house. Now my daughter actually wants to practice! She loves hearing the words and trying to get them right on her own. It's made our evenings so much easier, and she's getting more confident every week.”
“My son usually loses interest in anything that feels like homework, but StudySpell is different. He loves the games and earning rewards, and sometimes he'll keep practicing even after he's finished his words. I never thought I'd see him choosing to practice spelling!”
“I needed something that could help my 12yo with Autism learn how to spell the words on his grade level, I liked that you had the vocabulary choices by level and that I can set him up to practice a block of words per week in different ways that are fun to him”
