School spelling tests are written by hand - so practising by hand rehearses the real skill, and improves the handwriting too. For ages 5–11 (KS1 & KS2), free to start.
Your child handwrites each word on screen with a finger or stylus. The AI reads real child handwriting - joined-up or messy - and marks the spelling in real time, with a trace overlay available for early writers.
Why it helps: forming the letters builds the muscle memory that makes spellings last, and it matches exam conditions for SATs and the 11+.
The app reads the words aloud in a British English voice, your child writes them on numbered paper, then you photograph the page and it's marked automatically against the known words.
Why it helps: it recreates the Friday school test exactly - hear the word, write it by hand - with none of the parent marking.
Snap a photo of a marked paper spelling sheet and the app reads the ticks and crosses, records what your child actually wrote, and brings the misspelled words back into practice.
Why it helps: real pen-on-paper work feeds the same progress record as on-screen practice, so nothing done on paper is lost.
Handwritten practice builds a per-letter formation report - colour-coded scores across the alphabet showing exactly which letters need work. Fluent writers get a full Writing report covering joins, slant, spacing and legibility.
Why it helps: instead of "handwriting needs work", you get the specific letters to practise - and evidence when they improve.
Every child gets an editable weekly Learning plan, and any activity can be answered by ⌨️ typing, ✍️ handwriting, or 📸 on paper. The Paper-First Week template runs written practice photographed in on Monday and Thursday with the Friday paper test - built for families who prefer real paper.
