The real problem
Another random word list does not help with Friday's spelling check
Most spelling websites start with their words. WordyKid starts with your child's words, so every round stays connected to the list already sitting in the school bag.
How it works
From school list to playable practice in under a minute
No lesson planning. No worksheet creation. No hunting for a game that happens to contain the right words.
Check the words
Review the list before your child starts playing.
Choose a short game
Practise spelling, listening, word recognition and recall.
Repeat what is tricky
Come back to the words that still need another round.
Use what came home
One place for the words Australian families already practise
WordyKid does not replace the school's teaching approach. It gives families a faster way to repeat the exact material the child has already been given.
Weekly spelling words
Turn the exact list for this week into short games before the next classroom check.

Homework sheets
Use words from a worksheet without creating another worksheet.
Phonics words
Repeat the sound patterns and word families currently being taught.
High-frequency words
Build faster recognition of words that keep slowing reading down.
Reading vocabulary
Pull tricky words from a school reader or classroom text.
Why families choose WordyKid
The game changes. The learning target stays the same.
Children can practise one list through different short activities instead of repeating the same drill. That keeps the session fresh without drifting away from the words that matter this week.
- Built from the child's real school words
- Designed for quick after-school practice
- Works in the browser on common family devices
- Separate progress for siblings
Spelling practice is easier when the game uses the exact words my child has to learn, not another generic list.
That is the product promise. The school list remains the source of truth.

Questions from parents
Before you start
Can I use the exact spelling list from school?
Yes. That is the main purpose of WordyKid. Add the words by photo, paste or typing, check them, then start a game with the same list.
Is this aligned to the Australian Curriculum?
WordyKid is not a fixed curriculum program and does not claim formal curriculum alignment. It works with the words your child's school has already selected, including spelling, phonics, high-frequency words and classroom vocabulary.
Which year levels can use it?
It is most useful for children in the early and primary years who bring home spelling words, phonics lists, vocabulary or reading pages. The difficulty depends on the list you add.
Does it work on iPad, tablet and phone?
Yes. It runs in a modern browser on phones, tablets and computers, with no separate app installation required.
Can siblings keep separate progress?
Yes. Each child can use a separate player profile so their words and progress do not get mixed together.
Is it free to try?
Yes. You can start with a real list and experience the workflow before choosing a paid option.
