Spell it. Hatch it.

Your child hears a word and builds it with letter tiles. A Spellbug hatches and grows as they practise. Paste this week's school list and it becomes games in seconds. There are no ads and no accounts, and Spellbug works offline.

The Spellbug mascot, a cream and orange bug with a shell marked with the letters A, B and C.

It starts as an egg.

Each day of practice helps the Spellbug along. It hatches, then it grows.

Short, calm practice.

A session is five to ten words. The child hears the word, hears it slowly, or hears it in a sentence. A miss shows which letters to fix, in warm colours, with no buzzer.
