Spell Cub — this week’s spelling list, out loud, free for the whole class
- One link for the class. One parent or teacher pastes the list; everyone else taps the link and practises, with no sign-up and nothing to install.
- Hear it, spell it, fix it. The word in a sentence, spelled from memory, and a miss fixed straight away.
- Planned around test day, a little each day, with a rehearsal before the test. Grades 1 to 5.
Free for every child, with no ads and nothing to buy. See how it works.
