For grown-ups: answer to continue.

Twelve grade banks, 300 words each. Start where your child feels comfortable. Rounds use new words; repeat a bank only when you choose. Grade labels are flexible practice guides, not placement tests.

How these word banks were built

Original practice selections organized around phonics, syllables, spelling conventions, roots, affixes, and academic vocabulary. Informed by public K–12 word-study standards; these are not a publisher’s complete spelling curriculum.

Use this with a compatible active stylus. Leave off for a finger, mouse, or basic rubber-tip stylus.

Spoken words

Lesson recordings are saved for offline use. Custom words use the device voice below. Uncheck to use a device voice for all words.

Available voices depend on this tablet. “On device” voices can work offline; other voices may need internet. Voice previews use the sample word “flew.”

Saving ends the current round. Choose and preview a voice above; availability and pronunciation depend on your device. A grown-up can read the word aloud, too.
