About SpellOwl: Spelling Test Prep
Spelling test practice built from your child's own weekly list. Photograph the list once, and SpellOwl turns it into a short daily practice your child can do on their own. THE FRIDAY RITUAL Most weeks run the same way: the list comes home, the test follows a few days later, and the evenings in between are spent calling words out across the kitchen. SpellOwl takes that job. Your child listens, spells, and sees straight away how it went. By test day you both already know which words are ready. ONE PHOTO STARTS THE WEEK Point the camera at the list. The words are read from the photo, and you check every one of them before your child sees anything. A word misread? Fix it in a tap, remove it, or add one the scan missed. No list in hand yet? Type the words in, or start from a ready-made list included in the app. WORD, SENTENCE, WORD That is how the test is given at school, and that is how the practice runs. Your child hears the word, hears it used in a short sentence, hears the word again, then spells it on a keyboard built for spelling. The sentence is what makes "there", "their" and "they're" tell themselves apart out loud. YOU ARE IN CHARGE The account is the parent's, and the parent area is behind a 4-digit code. You approve every word and every sentence before your child practices them. You see the one number that matters: how many of this week's words are ready. Your child sees stars and encouragement, never a mark. WHAT SPELLOWL DOES NOT DO No ads, ever. No birthdate, no age, no real name: a child profile holds a nickname and a school level, nothing else. No chat, no open text box, no way for a child to send a message to anything. We do not sell your data, or your child's. BUILT FOR YOUR SCHOOL SYSTEM Pick United States grades or United Kingdom years at setup, and the level names, the spelling vocabulary and the practice voice follow. Ready-made lists include Dolch and Fry high-frequency words, and the statutory word lists of the National Curriculum in England, so the app is useful before the first photo.
