Spelling activities for weekly school spelling lists

A new list every Monday, a test every Friday - and somehow it's always Thursday night. Here's the whole week, handled. For ages 5โ€“11 (KS1 & KS2), free to start.

The weekly routine, step by step

๐Ÿ“ธ Scan the list

Photograph the printed school list - or paste or type it - and the app reads the words and builds the practice list in seconds, with audio, meanings and games for every word.

Why it helps: the week starts with a 30-second scan instead of typing words in one by one.

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Simple Week plan

A ready-made weekly Learning plan spreads the list across the week: short practice on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday - each session mixing this week's words with a couple due for revision - and a Saturday buffer that catches up anything missed.

Why it helps: three short sessions beat one Thursday-night cram, and the plan decides what's next so you don't have to.

โญ Today's practice

Each day, the child's home screen shows one clear thing to do, with a week strip marking off what's done - and finishing today's practice unlocks the games.

Why it helps: "have you done your spellings?" becomes a card the child can see and finish on their own.

โœ… The Friday test

The week ends with a test under test conditions - on paper (dictated by the app and marked from a photo) or on screen with hints off.

Why it helps: a practice test in the same format as school's means Friday morning holds no surprises.

๐Ÿ” Review the mistakes

Every miss is recorded with what your child actually wrote, sorted into the spelling pattern behind it, and scheduled to come back in future practice - even after next week's list takes over. Parents get the summary in a weekly progress report.

Why it helps: the words that slipped through don't vanish with the old list - they return until they're solid.

Make the week your own

The plan is a starting point, not a cage: add or remove activities per day, change word counts, swap an activity to typing, handwriting or paper, lighten a busy day, or switch to the Classic Week or Paper-First Week template. A Sunday reminder prompts you to photograph next week's list.
