Frequently Asked Questions

StudySpell is a web app that helps kids practice spelling. Each word is read aloud, your child types what they hear, and they get instant feedback — short, low-pressure sessions built to feel more like a game than homework.

It's a "hear it, spell it" loop. You create or choose a word list, your child hears each word read aloud, types it, and finds out right away if they got it — with a little celebration for correct answers. Practice is short and repeatable, so it fits a normal day.

It works across elementary and middle grades — roughly kindergarten through 8th grade. You can practice any word list, and each child practices at their own level, so it grows with them.

Yes — it's free to start, with no credit card required. A free account includes the full audio spelling test, up to 3 word lists of up to 7 words each, photo and document upload, and retry mode for missed words. Pro ($7/month) adds unlimited lists, multiple child profiles, the parent dashboard, and progress over time. See the pricing page for the full comparison.

No. StudySpell runs in any web browser on a phone, tablet, or computer — there's nothing to download or install. Just open it and start.

Four ways: type them in, upload a photo of the word list (StudySpell reads the words for you), upload a Word or PDF document, or start from one of the ready-made starter lists.

Yes. With Pro, you can set up a separate profile for each child, so everyone practices at their own level and keeps their own progress, streak, and rewards.

Yes. You can set up a family link so each child logs in with a simple PIN and practices independently — no need for you to run every session.

Besides the core audio spelling test, there are practice games like fill-in-the-blanks and memory match, plus a free daily word puzzle to keep the habit fun. Kids also earn XP, levels, streaks, and achievements as they go.

As your child practices, they earn coins. You set up a reward store with rewards you choose — extra screen time, a treat, picking the movie — and your child trades their coins for them. You stay in control of what's on offer.

A few focused minutes most days beats one long cram session. StudySpell is built for short, repeatable practice, so consistency is easy — even five or ten minutes a day makes a real difference.

Yes. You can take a free, no-signup grade-level spelling assessment, play the daily word puzzle, generate spelling-bee words, and print spelling worksheets — all without an account.

You can cancel anytime from your account, and you'll keep Pro access through the end of your billing period. There's no long-term contract.
