SpellBeeIn Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2), children move from sounding words out to spelling the common exception words — the everyday words that don't follow the usual phonic patterns. Short, regular practice with clear audio helps these stick.
Example KS1 spelling words
SpellBee covers words like these, with clear UK-English audio for each one:

How SpellBee helps with KS1 spelling
- Grown-ups set the words. Build your own KS1 word lists, or use the built-in curriculum lists for Years 1 and 2.
- Children practise safely. Kids sign in with a family code and a 4-digit PIN — no email, no password, and no ads, ever.
- Clear audio and instant feedback. Every word is read aloud in UK English, so tricky spellings are easier to learn.
- Progress you can see. Track mastery and celebrate achievements as spelling improves.
