How to practice spelling words online
Practicing spelling works best the way teachers test it: hear the word, write the word. This free spelling quiz recreates the classroom routine at home — the computer reads each word aloud, you type it, and you get instant feedback instead of waiting for a red pen.
- Copy in your list. Paste this week's spelling words into the box above — one per line, or separated by commas. Your list is saved in your browser, so you only type it once.
- Start the quiz. Each word is read aloud automatically. Turn your volume up and listen closely.
- Type what you hear. Press Enter or the Check button. Capitalization does not matter.
- Drill the misses. At the end you get your score as a percentage and the correct spelling of every word you got wrong. Hit Retry missed words to quiz yourself on just those.
Spelling practice tips for kids
Short daily sessions beat one long cram. Quiz on the full list once, then use Retry missed words each day until the missed list is empty — that spaced repetition is what makes spellings stick. A parent or teacher can enter the weekly list first, then hand the quiz over for independent practice.
What is an online spelling quiz?
An online spelling quiz is a simple test where the computer reads a word aloud and you type its spelling. This free spelling quiz reads each word to you with your browser's built-in voice, checks your answer instantly, and shows a score at the end — no account and no download needed.
How does this online spelling test work?
Paste your word list into the box and click Start quiz. The tool reads the first word aloud — type what you hear and press Enter to check. After each answer you get instant feedback, and at the end you see your score plus a list of every word you missed.
Is this spelling practice good for kids?
Yes — this spelling practice for kids works best with an adult nearby at first. A parent or teacher can paste the weekly spelling list into the box, then the child listens and types each word on their own. The instant feedback and retry-missed-words mode make it great for daily practice.
Can I retry the words I spelled wrong?
Yes. After the quiz you get a list of the missed words with their correct spellings. Click Retry missed words to run a fresh quiz using only those words, so you drill exactly what you got wrong.
Is my word list saved?
Your word list is saved in your own browser with localStorage, so it is still there when you come back. Nothing is uploaded or stored on a server.
Is the spelling quiz free? Do I need an account?
Completely free, and no account is needed. Everything runs in your browser — everything stays in your browser, nothing is uploaded.
