A real spelling test, right in your browser

Type in your child's spelling words and StudySpell reads each one aloud, just like a teacher would. Your child listens, types what they hear, and finds out right away if they got it. No account, no download, no credit card. You can run a full practice test in the next two minutes.

This is the same "hear it, spell it" practice that's at the heart of StudySpell. The free test here is the quickest way to feel how it works before you ever sign up.

Three steps, about two minutes

  1. Type in this week's spelling words, or paste them in.
  2. Press start. StudySpell reads the first word aloud, and your child types what they hear. They can replay any word as many times as they need.
  3. See the results. Correct words are celebrated, missed words are highlighted so your child can see exactly where they slipped.

Why hearing the word matters

A real spelling test asks a child to recall a spelling from sound, not to copy it off a page. That's a harder, more useful skill, and it's the one their teacher is actually grading. Practicing the way the test works is what makes the words stick.

Short sessions beat long ones. A few focused minutes on the current word list, most days of the week, does more than one long cram the night before.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to sign up to use the free spelling test?

No. You can type in words and run a full audio spelling test right here without an account. When you're ready to save word lists and track progress over time, a free account takes about a minute to create.

What ages is this for?

It works for roughly kindergarten through 8th grade. Because you type in your own words, you set the level. Use this week's classroom list, sight words, or harder words for an older child.

Does my child need to be able to read to use it?

Not to take the audio test, since every word is read aloud. If your child is a very early reader, the Picture Speller game may be a gentler place to start.

Can I save these words for next time?

The free test on this page is meant for a quick one-off practice. To save word lists and come back to them, create a free account. Free accounts let you save up to 3 lists, and Pro ($7/month) makes them unlimited.

Is it really free?

Yes. This spelling test is free with no signup and no credit card. StudySpell also has a free account tier, and an optional Pro plan at $7/month for families who want unlimited lists, multiple child profiles, and a progress dashboard.
