What is Spellzone?

Spellzone is an online English spelling resource used by students aged six to adult. It unlocks the mystery of English spelling and is adaptable for all abilities including SEND, SLD, ESL students and those with dyslexia.

Spellzone has three main components: The Spelling Ability Test, a complete spelling course and 1000's of word lists.

The Spelling Ability Test identifies any gaps in student knowledge. It provides students with baseline scores and individual learning pathways indicating which course units should be studied. Automatic retesting keeps them on track with little intervention.

The phonics-based course covers all the English spelling rules and their exceptions with a high level of teaching, practice and revision using definitions, sentence context learning tips and multi-sensory spelling activities. Basic concepts taught include vowels, consonants, syllables, prefixes, and suffixes. Students are tested in different ways throughout the course.

Structured access to word lists makes Spellzone ideal for dyslexic and ESL students. Word lists are translatable into 92 languages and can be used with spelling activities and word games or printed as off-line resources including handwriting worksheets.

Teachers can create their own subject specific word lists. These can be set as classroom or homework tasks for individual learners or whole classes. Perfect for weekly spellings or exam preparation!

New Comprehension Course

For more than 20 years, Spellzone has helped students around the world improve their spelling. Now, our brand-new course brings that same expertise to comprehension, with engaging, interactive activities to help build confident, thoughtful readers.

As they work through the units, students will explore fiction and non-fiction in a range of formats, including stories, leaflets, newspaper articles, journals, and reviews. Along the way, they will develop a range of comprehension skills, including:

  • Understanding words in context
  • Retrieving key information
  • Making inferences based on evidence
  • Predicting what might happen next in a
    story
  • Identifying key information to create a
    summary
  • Understanding how language, structure,
    and presentation contribute to meaning
  • Distinguishing fact from opinion
  • Asking questions and participating in
    discussions to improve understanding
  • Providing justification for their views

Each unit includes an original text with targeted comprehension questions, alongside printable worksheets, drawing activities, listening questions, and class discussion prompts.

Spellzone logs all student activity in real time. Teachers can view and download a variety of reports to evaluate student success.
