600+ curriculum words plus any custom words your school adds, every one narrated in a clear British voice with an example sentence. Pupils practise independently, no adult needed.
Adapts to each pupil

The results, so far.
Data from our initial cohort: a UK primary school, Spring 2026. We will update this page as more schools share results.
Built for all pupils, even the ones who usually give up.
Every competitor ships leaderboards and timers by default. SpellCast ships them off. Pupils who freeze under competition practise the same way everyone else does.
No public leaderboards
The Wallboard is a teacher-controlled celebration display. Pupils never see a class ranking unless you choose to show one.
OpenDyslexic font
One tap in pupil settings. No IT request, no per-device config. Your SENCO can set it on any pupil account.
Every word spoken aloud
Each word is read by a human voice with an example sentence. Pupils with reading difficulties practise independently, no adult needed.
No timers by default
Only Spell Sprint is timed, and it is an optional mode. It is never the default.
For your SENCO
Full accessibility statement, WCAG 2.1 AA conformance level, OpenDyslexic font, and reduced-motion support.
