Description
This is the 'Future of Spelling' - Sir Linkalot’s award-winning app improves spelling for children of all ages and ability.
With hundreds of spelling animations and ‘links’ to help you learn them, the app is perfect for boosting school lessons, assisting home schooling and hitting UK national curriculum SPAG criteria (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar).
The app is suitable for students of 4+ years with words grouped into varying difficulty levels.
Challenge yourself with the app’s multiple-choice test and crossword challenges and keep track of your scores as you improve. Students using the Sir Linkalot app typically improve their spelling scores by 70%, with a 150% improvement for those who find learning tricky.
The app is divided into six key elements of literacy: spelling, homophones, rules & patterns, punctuation & grammar, prefixes and etymology (origin of words). A new addition is the Times Tables (2x2 to 12x12) with lots more Maths to come. These are categorised into bundles with each based on a renowned literary or Maths figure. We're always adding more bundles to further your knowledge.
Sir Linkalot’s partner-in-crime, Lady Lexicographer (aka TV’s Susie Dent), whose favourite book is the dictionary, will reveal the origin of certain words on the app that have an interesting story to tell including prefixes.
“Sir Linkalot is a fascinating and fun means of memorizing and visualizing words” – Skillswise, BBC
“It makes spelling fun. I see the animations when I write the words.”
– 10 year old child with ASD & ADHD
“Brilliant. I can now spell diarrhoea!'' – Sir Paul McCartney

Good but not free trial does not work but once you get used to it, it’s a very good teacher😘
Ok but…🤔
It is cool but it’s not free. I had to subscribe and it was not just spelling there was math and to many videos. There are levels but it does not tell you what level your on it only will go to level three my child said it was not that cool but she will still do it. I got another spelling app it was better.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the feedback; it's appreciated. Apologies for the app not being free but these things cost a fair bit to maintain. If we could make it free, we would, as we wouldn't want someone missing out because of the cost.
We would love to know what other resource has got ways to help students learn to spell tricky non-phonetic words like 'they', 'was', 'special', 'business' and 'separate'.
There are many resources that cover phonics, spelling rules and patterns but. as far as we know there isn't anything for the red/sight words that children need to commit to memory.
Would it be possible to elaborate on your comment about the levels?
Thanks again.
Support is not present
The support on this app is not present. We had an issue with things saving so led to our boys no longer using. Then, get a surprise annual renew - no notification or ask if want to renew - and cannot find the app under Apple Support! Now spending time tying to get refund from a product that wasn’t working for us.
