Spelling from sound

Hear one word, type every letter and press Enter. After you answer, the definition and an adult example sentence make the spelling part of a useful word—not an isolated memory trick.

Ten words a round and three lives. Capitals do not matter; every letter does. There is no countdown, and you can replay the recording before you answer.

How to learn a spelling you missed

  1. Listen again and say the word naturally. Do not pronounce silent letters just to remember them.
  2. Notice the difficult group, not only the first letter. Phonics practice covers patterns such as ph, igh, -tion and -cious.
  3. Use the example aloud. A word is easier to retrieve when it belongs to a sentence you could actually say.
  4. Type the whole word again after a short gap. Copying while the answer is visible does not test recall.

Keep practising

Study reusable letter groups in Phonics, rebuild a visible word in Word scramble, or type complete sentences in Short dictation.
