A spelling app for your child's own school list - in Indian English

Spelling.Live turns the spelling list your child's school sends home into short daily practice. It was built in the UK, and it teaches the English your child's school uses: when you add your child, choose 🇮🇳 Indian English and everything follows - the spellings we accept, the voice that reads the words, and school years named the way you know them (Class 1 onwards).

What it does

• Your school's own list - type it in, or photograph the sheet that came home.
• Ready-made lists - every class's lists below, in British spelling, ready to add in one tap when school hasn't sent a list yet.
• Four ways to practise - choose it, type it, say it and write it, with handwriting checked.
• Paper tests marked from a photo - a real written test, marked in seconds.
• Every mistake diagnosed - the app names the spelling pattern behind it.
• Missed words come back on a spaced schedule until they stick.
• Support for dyslexia and SEN - OpenDyslexic, colour overlays, slower speech and more.

Indian English uses British spelling (colour, favourite, centre), and Spelling.Live reads words aloud in an Indian English voice when your child is set to Indian English.

Progress measured against a detailed curriculum

India has no single national spelling curriculum: what is taught depends on the school's board (CBSE, ICSE or a state board) and its textbooks. Indian English uses British spellings, so for a child set to Indian English the progress report follows England's National Curriculum (English Appendix 1), the most detailed national spelling map we've found. It names each rule, such as -tion, silent letters or the y that changes to i, and marks each one Started, Nearly there or Secure.

Your child still practises their own school list, and their settings use Indian class names. How the progress report works in each country

Spelling words by class

There is no single national spelling list in India. CBSE, ICSE and state boards each set their own English syllabus and schools use different textbooks, so your child's list may differ. These are words commonly taught, grouped by the spelling pattern they practise.

• Class 1Ages 6–7
• Class 2Ages 7–8
