From school list to sorted practice

Step 1

Add this week's spellings

Type them, paste them, or snap a photo of the school spelling sheet.

  • Type words
  • Paste a spelling list
  • Take or choose a photo of the school's spelling sheet

Step 2

Let them practise

Look. Write. Check. Write again.

Children look at the word, try writing it from memory, then write it again — with the word read aloud and structured repetition built in.

A child's LWCW practice screen inviting them to write the word 'beautiful' by hand, with the spelling itself hidden until they check their work.

Step 3

Check as they go

See the correct spelling, compare their attempt and keep going.

After each attempt, they see the correct spelling next to their own writing and decide for themselves whether they've got it — no automatic grading, just a moment to compare and keep going.

LWCW's check screen comparing a child's handwritten attempt at 'beautiful' with the correct spelling, alongside Yes and Not yet buttons.

Step 4

Ready? Test Me.

Hear the word, spell it from memory, then check.

Think they're ready? Test Me says each word aloud without showing the spelling first, so they can try it from memory before checking their answer.

LWCW's Test Me screen: the word is read aloud with the spelling hidden, and the child writes their answer by hand before checking it.

Step 5

A little more practice where it's needed

Go back over tricky words without starting everything again.

Words that need more work get practised again — no need to repeat the whole list every time.

LWCW's Test Me results screen showing 8 words remembered and 2 to practise again, with a button to practise just the tricky words.

Step 6

Or build it with letter blocks

Tap the letters in order — no handwriting required.

Prefer tapping to handwriting? Letter blocks use the same Look, Write, Check, Write again structure, but children spell the word by tapping its letters in the right order instead of writing it by hand.

LWCW's Letter Blocks mode: a child has tapped five of the seven letters of 'because' in order, with used letters highlighted and the rest still waiting to be tapped.

Step 7

Watch their woodland grow

Every practice helps their woodland grow.

Every practice grows a tree in Twig's woodland. When one blossoms, that list is learned.

Each spelling list has its own tree, so children can see their practice turning into something growing — from sapling to blossom.

LWCW's Your woodland screen: Twig the acorn mascot stands beside a young tree, with 'This week's spellings' shown as a cherry tree sapling, 3 of 4 words learned.

Step 8

See their progress, word by word

A little practice adds up.

The Progress tab shows how many words they've practised, their day streak and how far through each list they are, with a practice journal of their work alongside.

LWCW's Progress screen showing 8 words practised, a 1 day streak, and 'This week's spellings' 3 of 4 words through.

Less spelling admin. More actual practice.

LWCW takes care of the structure so you don't have to sit beside them calling out every word.

Add their school list, choose what to practise, and let them work through it.

Younger children may still want you close by, and that's fine — LWCW handles the structure, not the sitting-with-them.

Made for children. Private by design.
