Curriculum workflow or one custom list
Choose based on the spelling workflow you need
A name search is not enough to choose a spelling tool. Start with the work you need to do: a school-wide curriculum and class workflow, or a straightforward practice round with a custom list already in hand.
Free to start: 2 word lists of up to 100 words each. Pro: US$2.99/month, US$19.99/year or US$29.99 once (UK £2.99/£19.99/£29.99; Australia A$4.99/A$29.99/A$49.99).

Choose Spelling Shed when you need its broader school workflow
Spelling Shed describes a whole-school curriculum, standards coverage, student games, a teacher hub, assignments, and monitoring. When those are the needs, use the service built around that workflow rather than treating a custom-list practice tool as the same thing.
Match the choice to the work ahead
These are different kinds of spelling work, so they need different answers.
Curriculum and standards
Use the curriculum path when a planned school spelling program and standards coverage are needed.
Class and assignment workflow
Use the school workflow when teachers need to manage groups, set work, or monitor activity.
A custom list at home
Use a simple practice path when you already have the words and only need to prepare, hear, and spell them.
What home practice with your own list looks like
Add the list by scanning the sheet, importing the PDF, or pasting the words. Your child practices with you in Practice Together, or alone in Solo Test, where Snap Spell reads each word and checks the typed spelling.
What happens to missed words
Missed words go to Tricky Words and come back over the next few weeks. The Weekly Report shows what your child practiced at home.
