Spelling.Live vs Word Club

Spelling.Live turns school spelling lists into practice activities for children in KS1 and KS2. Families can create lists by photographing a school sheet, pasting text, or entering words. Children can practise through handwriting, typing, speaking, selecting answers, tracing, or working on paper. A weekly Learning plan schedules activities and can follow weekly, fluid, or classic rhythms. Spaced repetition returns to weaker words, while difficulty adjusts to the child’s stage. AI tools provide spelling tips, picture hints, sentence generation, and handwriting marking. Teachers and tutors can create classes, assign lists, review group reports, scan paper tests for marking, and import pupil rosters from Google Classroom. Per-child settings include OpenDyslexic or Lexend fonts, colour overlays, adjustable spacing, and slower speech. The service is available on Android, iOS, and web. Free sign-up provides 200 credits, which expire after 90 days without a practice session. Paid packs cost 4.00 GBP for 400 credits or 20.00 GBP for 5,000 credits, each as a one-time purchase valid for 12 months.

Word Club is a free Android and iOS app for studying spelling and vocabulary, including preparation for spelling bees. Its quizzes cover 450 School Level Study List words and 4,000 Words of the Champions words. Learners can choose five spelling modes and three vocabulary modes, then track progress through both lists. Games work offline, with results synchronizing to the account after reconnection. The app receives annual updates just after Labor Day with study words for the current school year. Teachers at enrolled schools can sign in to access and distribute study lists. The Words of the Champions collection comes from Merriam-Webster Unabridged, identified as the official dictionary of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. The app is intended for preparation from classroom and school bees through district, county, regional, and final local events. Account creation checks that a new account holder is at least 13. Support is available in Settings or through a website ticket.
