The Spellexi App
The practice layer that builds long-term spelling retention. Photo grading, spaced repetition, and adaptive word lists. No screens for your child. No prep for you.
Get Early AccessYou read spelling words from the list. Your child writes them on paper. Pencil, pen, whatever they prefer. No typing, no tablets.
Snap a photo of their handwritten work. Spellexi grades it instantly. No manual checking, no answer key, no sorting.
The app tracks which words are mastered, which need more practice, and builds the next session automatically. You get your time back.
The child writes on paper. The phone is the instrument, not the screen your child stares at. No gamification, no addictive loops, no screen time.
Upload a photo of anything your child has written and Spellexi pulls the misspelled words straight into the practice list.
Words are retested at 30 and 90 days after initial mastery. A word isn't marked learned until it's genuinely automatic, not just right in a single practice session.
No grading. No tracking. No deciding what to practice next. Your only job is to read words aloud.
Spellexi is the practice layer on top of whatever your family already does. It complements AAS, Barton, OG, Logic of English, or stands alone if you've moved past structured curricula.
All About Spelling, Barton, Orton-Gillingham, Logic of English. Spellexi is the daily practice on top that turns instruction into automatic spelling in real writing.
Some children build spelling through repeated exposure and short daily practice, not rule recitation. Spellexi runs spaced repetition until the words are automatic.
Most apps keep kids on screens and focus on short-term recall. Spellexi keeps kids off screens (they write on paper) and targets long-term retention through 30-day and 90-day mastery checks. Zero parent prep.
No. Spellexi is a practice layer, not a curriculum. It does not teach spelling rules or deliver a scope and sequence. It works alongside any existing spelling program (All About Spelling, Barton, Orton-Gillingham, or none at all) and handles the repetition and retention that programs don't cover.
Yes. Spellexi is built with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and other learning differences in mind. It uses low-stakes daily practice, handwriting (not typing), and spaced repetition. These methods support children who struggle to apply spelling rules in real writing even after learning them.
Spellexi uses Fry word lists (the most common words in written English), words from the child's own writing, and any custom words a parent adds. The list adapts automatically based on what each child needs to practice, master, or revisit.
Less than 5 minutes of practice per day. The session is designed to be short, consistent, and low-stress, not a homework event. The parent reads words, the child writes them, the parent photographs the paper, and it's done.
Yes. Spellexi is designed to complement, not replace, structured spelling programs. Because it doesn't teach rules or deliver instruction, it doesn't conflict with AAS, Barton, Orton-Gillingham, or any other program. Use your curriculum for instruction; use Spellexi to make that instruction stick.
