SpellMe
SpellMe is a web app for interactive spelling practice at home or in classrooms. It offers Regular, Mastery, and Story modes, though access to some modes depends on the account tier. Mastery adjusts difficulty in response to performance, and hints can focus practice on letters a learner misses. Learners can make custom word lists or use curated phonics and festive lists; registered users can access the curated library. A dashboard tracks accuracy and word mastery, while teacher accounts add classroom management and student progress monitoring. Premium tools include hints, image-based list import, generated lists, and AI progress summaries. The free Basic plan includes five lists of up to ten words each, more than 300 curated phonics lists, and Regular Mode. Advanced costs £12/year and Premium costs £20/year, each with a 14-day free trial. SpellMe works on browser-based devices including Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows, but requires an internet connection. Guest users can create one list of up to five words, with progress saved locally.
