Listen and type

A sentence is read aloud, and your speller types the word they heard. They can replay it as many times as they like.

Why it works: Mapping sounds to letters with no visual crutch is the core spelling skill — and hearing the word in a sentence gives it meaning that makes it stick.

Try it yourself

This is the real exercise with sample words. Nothing is saved and no account is needed.

In a real session this exercise reads the word and its example sentence aloud, so headphones are recommended. The sample below is silent.

Where this fits in a session

SpellABC.com mixes all fifteen modes automatically, matched to each speller's grade, so the same word is met from several directions across a week rather than copied out repeatedly. Every word and example sentence is recorded, with a different voice per grade.
