How does Spelling Test Buddy work?

Spelling Test Buddy lets teachers and parents give online spelling tests, practice, and games, to their learners, and saves time. Students take online tests with instant feedback, and reinforce learning with enlightened spelling tools and learning-optimized games. Teachers can create differentiated lists based on spelling patterns and phonemes, manage students, and track progress. Parents can support learning at home, either through their child's teacher account or on their own.

(Optional) Put Students into 👥 Groups

(Optional) Use Advanced Assignment Mode for even more control

Switch to Advanced Assignment Mode, and you can create custom assignments with specific dates and student/group targeting.

For example, you can create Assignments that have a Practice test on Monday and a Test on Friday for a given Word List and a specific group of students, for every week of the school year.

It’s incredibly powerful.
