HOW IT WORKS

From your spelling plan to practice at home

Spellwell gives your class one place to find its current words. You decide what to teach and when it becomes available; children can practise without accounts or adverts.

1. Set up your class once

Open the teacher space and request a sign-in link by email. Create a class with a school and class label. Use a fresh class for each new school-year cohort; anyone with its class link can read those labels and published words, so leave out pupil names and sensitive details.

2. Prepare the words you teach

Add up to 30 words, one per line. You can write optional example sentences for words that need context, save an unfinished draft and edit it later. Optional suggestions are aligned to England’s primary English spelling curriculum; review every suggestion for your class.

3. Choose when the next list appears

Choose an available-from date and, if useful, a spelling test date. A newly scheduled list appears at 3pm UK time on its start date. Until then, families keep seeing the current published list through the same class link. You can prepare several weeks ahead. A draft stays private until you publish it.

4. Share one link, code or QR sheet

In the class’s Share this class section, copy the permanent link for a message to families, give out its short code, or print the 12-label A4 QR sheet for pupils’ books. Families can scan or use that same code each week. Preview the pupil view before sharing. If you need a link to one particular published week, copy it from that list instead.

Replacing a class link or code stops old bookmarks and printed QR labels working, so use that setting only when needed.

5. Children practise in short sessions

Children open the class link, scan the label or enter the code, then choose an activity or practise a single word. They can press Hear the word when their device offers a local British English voice. Text and visual alternatives remain available when it does not.

Practice answers, handwriting and effort stars stay on that browser. Shared devices may mix progress, and teachers do not receive individual results. Try the sample pupil experience before introducing it to your class.
