Sir Linkalot
What Sir Linkalot is
Sir Linkalot teaches spelling through visual animations and memorable connections called links. Its bundles, organised around literary figures, cover spelling, homophones, rules and patterns, punctuation and grammar, etymology, parts of speech, and prefixes. Learners can practise with multiple-choice tests and educational crosswords, then check progress on a results screen. The app describes a routine of daily 5-to-10-minute sessions, with a test before and after animations and another test a month later. It also includes animations for all the Times Tables and word-origin stories presented by Susie Dent.
The app is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Personal monthly access is £6.99 a month; personal annual access is £49.99 a year. The Schools and Groups licence is £35 a year per student and includes a browser version for whiteboards. All listed options include customer support. The site describes the app as suitable for students of all ages and as a classroom resource requiring no parental input.
