Spell It is the simplest way to practice a weekly school list on a phone. You add this week's words, and the app turns them into a spoken spelling test, flashcards, fill-in-the-blank, word scramble and word search. Every word gets a low, medium or high confidence level that rises as the child practices, and the app's daily practice picks the words that still need work. Profiles keep each child's lists apart, and a test-date reminder says how many words are left. It is free to download with ads; Spell It Pro costs $3.99 a month or $19.99 a year on the US App Store. Unlike Spelling Shed and Spelling Stars, it does not describe built-in grade-level lists, so it relies on the words you enter, and it only runs on iPhone and iPad. We compared documented features and published prices only.
