Questions and answers
Choose a question to learn more about levels, modes, free sessions, Premium, and effective review.
Start with words that feel familiar. If most words are easy, move up a level; if a session feels frustrating, step down and build confidence first. The level descriptions and sample words make it easy to compare.
Spelling Practice asks you to hear a word and type the complete spelling. Flash Cards show the word and let you review its pronunciation, definition, and example at your own pace.
No. You can choose either mode, select a level, and begin your free sessions without creating an account or entering payment information.
A session counts only when the word activity actually begins. Browsing the homepage, comparing levels, or reviewing words you missed does not use another free session.
Premium removes the practice-session limit and includes ongoing Smart Review, saved custom spelling lists, progress history, printable practice lists, and up to three learner profiles under one account.
Yes. At the end of Spelling Practice, choose “Practice missed words” for a focused review. That review does not count as a new session.
Spelling practice strengthens sound-letter connections, vocabulary, reading fluency, and confidence. Spell-check can correct a word, but learning its patterns makes it easier to recognize, remember, and use.
Choose the mode that feels right today. You can switch whenever you want.
