Built for How Students Learn
to Spell
Personalized learning, immediate feedback, mastery-based practice, and spaced review build stronger spelling skills, lasting retention, and greater confidence.
Spelling Safari is perfect for the elementary classroom,
homeschool learning, tutoring or to supplement learning at home.
The Spelling Safari Cycle
Skip what they know → Master what they miss → Remember what they learn
Quiz
The Cycle begins with a pre-test which builds each student's personalized word list.
Diagnostic
This automated assessment identifies the starting ability level for each student.
Practice
Students complete activities to strengthen spelling skills.
Test
Measures learning and sends missed words to the next cycle.
Why waste time practicing words students already know?
Spelling Safari keeps learning focused on the words each student needs.
Known words are skipped, and misspelled words return until mastered.
Our spaced review revisits previously-learned words to support long-term retention.
Spelling Safari applies research-aligned principles to support effective learning:
-
Phonics-forward learning connects sounds with spelling patterns

Personalized word study targets each student’s instructional needs
-
Multi-sensory practice reinforces learning in multiple ways
-
Immediate feedback helps students correct errors as they occur
-
Mastery-based learning keeps missed words in the cycle until learned

Spelling Insights analyzes errors to identify areas for targeted support
