About Spelling Bee

Listen to the word and spell it out. Grade-appropriate lists from "because" to "bureaucracy".

Spelling Bee reads a word aloud and your child types it. The word lists are chosen by age, from everyday words like "because" for younger children to "bureaucracy" for teenagers. Missed words are listed at the end, ready to practise.

Tips

  • Have your child listen to the word twice before typing. The speaker button repeats it.
  • Say the word slowly in syllables. Most spelling slips happen in the middle of a word.
  • Look over the missed words at the end together, and write them out by hand once.
  • Words that were missed come round again more often, so the tricky ones get extra practice.
  • Use headphones in a noisy room, so every sound comes through clearly.
