Spelling Force features a powerful NAPLAN Spelling Simulator that facilitates endless practice of the NAPLAN spelling test format.
This simulator is not an ACARA publication. The simulator at the official NAPLAN Public Demonstration Site only gives 8 set sample spelling questions.
Once your class has started typing, the Typing Tournament system keeps track of your class’s progress and displays it in real-time and in rank order on the Leaderboards. The winners of the Typing Challenge are the Leaderboard winners for the week of the Typing Challenge.
Starts Sunday November 23rd 2025 and ends 10:59am AEDT Saturday November 29th 2025. The system uses GMT (Grenwich Mean Time)
There are separate Leaderboards measuring the average typing speed of your class and the total words typed by your class.
Each Leaderboards is broken down by country, state, school and age group.
The Leaderboards allow users who are logged in to see the ranking of classes within their school allowing intra-school competition. Join up as many classes as you can and max the competition!
At the end of the Typing Challenge week Gold, Silver and Bronze winners are awarded to the top 3 Leaderboard ranks for both fastest average speed and most words typed categorised by age-group and State.
Results will be posted to the EdAlive website (edliave.com) during the week following the Typing Challenge.
The 10 Classes that spell the most words will receive a Spelling Challenge Trophy.
Teachers can print individual Typing Challenge Certificates for each student from their Teacher account.
As the Leaderboards rank the results of all classes, you are able to celebrate the achievement of your class even if it is not a category winner.
Start using Typing Tournament right now to prepare the students for a final push in the Challenge Week. From one class to the whole school - all may participate in the Typing Challenge.
Only results for classes are shown. No individual results are visible.
We employ standard deviation filters to ensure that results that are atypical for a student are discounted and not used for the calculation of class results. This methodology assumes that each student will build their skills in a progressive manner. This mechanism guards against the possibility of others with higher typing speeds artificially inflating a class result by typing in their account or students randomly mashing the keys to artificially boost their typing speed and output.
