Bee Practice › My school's list
Practise your school's spelling list
Got a list from school? A grown-up adds it once. Then I say each word, and you pick the right spelling.
How it works
- A grown-up presses and holds the button for two seconds, then types or pastes the words, one to a line (up to 500).
- Peabody keeps only real words of letters: numbers, a child's name with a space in it, or anything else is left out.
- Your child taps Practise. Peabody says each word and your child picks it from three spellings. Two first-try rights and it is spelled for good.
- For a mock bee at the kitchen table, tap Pronouncer: the word big on your screen to read out, and Right, Missed or Skip. Or use pronouncer mode on one of Peabody's lists.
- Print gives the list back as a clean two-column sheet for the fridge.
Where does the list go?
Nowhere. It stays in this browser on this device, and nothing is sent to Peabody or anyone else. It isn't in the page's address, so a link can't carry it. Clear it from this device (behind the same hold) and it is gone, with its marks.
Why can't Peabody just have the bee's list?
The study list most school bees use belongs to its publisher, and schools hand it out to their spellers. Peabody doesn't copy it. Typing your own copy on your own device for your own child is between you and the sheet; Peabody only keeps it where you put it.
The wrong spellings are made right here in the browser from the mistakes children really make (a double letter, ie and ei, a silent letter). A wrong box is never a word that sounds the same, like "lite" for light or "knot" for not: Peabody carries a table of those and leaves them out.
