What it does
KS2 Spelling covers the spelling paper of the Year 6 SATs. Your child practises the way the test works, and the app keeps track of what still needs work.
Real SATs practice
Every KS2 spelling paper children have sat since 2016. Lex reads each word, then the sentence, then the word again, just like on test day.
Learns what your child needs
After each test your child sees exactly which letters went wrong, with a tip for that spelling pattern. Marking follows the test's own rules.
Fun that keeps them coming back
In Lex's Adventure your child sails through 12 islands of spelling patterns, beats the bosses, opens treasure chests and climbs SATs Summit.
A daily goal paced to the test date, with today's tasks picked for your child.
Words can be heard again, and all 20 sentences are read again at the end, as in the real test.
A parents area with progress and a weekly report for every child. Lock it with a PIN.
In Paper mode Lex reads and your child writes by hand. On the Full plan, print papers in the real test layout, with answers for a grown-up to mark.
Type in each week's spelling list, then practise and test those words with Lex.
Up to 4 children on the Full plan, each with their own progress. Back it up to a file and restore it on a new phone.
