iPad · Grades K-5

Strong spellers start here.

Spell a Bee helps kids in grades K-5 learn and master new words. A virtual spelling bee stage lets them test what they know and feel confident.

Learning a word, its meaning, part of speech, and origin

Learn it, practice it, master it

Each word starts with no pressure. Kids hear it, see how it is spelled, and explore what it means. Then they practice, and they move on only once they can spell it on their own.

A practice recap showing which words were spelled correctly

Built on the Leitner method

Spell a Bee tracks every word with the Leitner system, a spaced repetition method backed by decades of learning research. Tricky words come back more often, and mastered ones fade out. Spelling is learned for the long term, not crammed.

The right level, from day one

A short placement test finds each child's starting point. It is never too easy and never over their head. From there they climb at their own pace, and they unlock each level only by mastering the one before.

The parent dashboard showing progress and words to practice

Parents stay in the loop

A private dashboard shows what your child has mastered, where they're strong, and the words they could use help with. You can support their learning as much or as little as you like. No ads, no tracking of kids.

And kids keep coming back
