Spellexi
What Spellexi is
Spellexi is an iPhone spelling-practice app built around a parent-led routine. A parent reads words aloud, a child writes them on paper, and the app grades a photo of the handwriting. It tracks mastery and applies spaced repetition to choose later practice. Word lists draw from the Fry list and can add words the child misses. The service is described as supporting children with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and other learning differences, and as a practice layer alongside All About Spelling, Barton, and Orton-Gillingham. It includes dictation and corrective practice, but not phonics instruction. Parents can manage several children separately and create a shareable report for each. Daily sessions are described as taking under five minutes. The first five sessions are free without a card, while paid plans include a one-month trial. Monthly pricing is 9.99 USD; annual pricing is 79.99 USD. The app requires iOS 26.2 or later.
