Your students take the spelling test

Or, email them a personalized link through the app.

At school or home, your student logs in with this link and a simple code that takes them right to their word list for that week.

Practice and Test

You can decide whether students can take the test over and over (repeated practice), or whether they get one attempt as a test.

You can view personalized progress reports across all of the students, with the ability to drill down to identify areas of opportunity.
