Parent Review

– Kerry Behrend, mother of 5
“It is good to be able to buy an educationally sound program that will suit all the children throughout their schooling. The games are fun and adaptable for all age groups ... a simple fun approach to spelling lists and a great family price.”

Student Review

– Chris, aged 11
“I'm a really good speller and I use Spelling Force for practice. My little sisters use it for homework and for practice. My favourite game is MagnoBeamer because of some of the longer, harder words – it gets very tricky!”
– Jessica, aged 7
“I love Spelling Force because I can learn how to spell difficult words like 'concentrated' and 'receipt'. I like to spell so I can be a great speller. Thanks to you EdAlive, I'm beginning to be a be a good speller.”
– Kaitlynn, aged 9
“I like Spelling Force because it helps me to learn how to spell words – it's easy once you play it right! I like the submarine mission because it makes buzzing noises. I think this is the best game yet. It's fun – sometimes I don't know I'm doing work it's so fun!”
– Methuen, aged 8
“My teacher asked me to play Spelling Force and it was really fun! LaunchPad Panic, Major Meltdown and MagnoBeamer were all great.”
– Keiron, aged 14
“Spelling Force is great. I am a really good speller thanks to you!”

Teacher Driven & Automated Learning

Automated Learning

The Automated Learning system uses the Levelling Mode (adaptive learning) to quickly place students into a Mastery Mode Era (grade level) where they should be able to spell most, but not all the words presented. Re-levelling will occur if they are getting too many or too few words correct.

About Eras 

Eras 1 to 7 are school grade equivalent. Eras 8, 9 and 10 are extension material reaching all the way to advanced adult spelling levels.

Difficult Words

About Difficult Words

Difficult words are those that pose a challenge to your spellers as they do not follow phonic conventions, have unusual spelling patterns, irregular pronunciation or are derived from languages other than English. 

High Frequency In Order

Covers the 200 most frequently used difficult words from the highest frequency to the lowest.

Low Frequency Alphabetical Order

The Dirty Thirty Spelling List

The 30 most commonly misspelled words in the English GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education – UK Equivalent of the Australian HSC)

Dolch List

The Dolch Sight Word List is a set of 220 common words compiled by Edward William Dolch in 1936. These words make up 50-75% of all words used in children’s reading materials. The list is divided into five levels plus a separate noun list. The list was first published in a journal article in 1936 and then published in his book “Problems in Reading” in 1948.

Dolch compiled the list based on children’s books of his era, which is why nouns such as “kitty” and “Santa Claus” appear on the list instead of more current high-frequency words. The list contains 220 “service words” that Dolch thought should be easily recognised in order to achieve reading fluency in the English language. The compilation excludes nouns, which comprise a separate 95-word list. According to Dolch, between 50% and 75% of all words used in school books, library books, newspapers, and magazines are a part of the Dolch basic sight word vocabulary; however, bear in mind that the list was compiled in 1936.

Essential 600

This list of 600 words was first published as the “Blunkett Spelling List” which was issued in 2000 by the UK government for secondary schools. It is a list of essential words that children should be able to spell by the end of Primary School (age 11).

It can be used at the end of primary schooling or at the commencement of secondary education for revision or as a test to ascertain a student’s spelling proficiency. Covers: Art, Common Confusions, D&T, Drama, English, Geography, History, ICT, Library, Maths, Music, PE, PSHE, Religious Education, and Science.

Frequency Words

A list of the 500 most frequently used words in frequency order 1 – 500.

This list was created by EdAlive from a comprehensive analysis of children’s literature and writing.

Fry 1,000

The Fry Word List consists of 1,000 words that are most commonly used in English writing, developed by Dr. Edward Fry in 1957. These words represent over 90% of words found in typical reading materials. The list is organised into 10 groups of 100 words each, roughly corresponding to difficulty and frequency.

Age Brackets

To ensure the fairest competition between classes, the leaderboard defaults to show results grouped by age brackets.

Improvement on last week rank

Drill down by Country and State

Use the icons at the top of the Leaderboard to drill down by Country and State.

I can't See My Class or Don't See The Expected Results

Only classes where the teacher or school administrator has set the age level of the class will be shown on the age-based leaderboard. This can be set using the “Edit Class Details” button on the class management screen. If you have not already done so, please ensure your classes have the correct ages now.

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 and guards against the possibility of others with higher skills speeds artificially inflating a student’s result by working in their account.

Classes with significantly more or less students than typical classes are not displayed in the Leaderboard.

Inactive classes, in which none or only a small number of students have completed questions during the week, will not be displayed on the Leaderboard.

View Previous Winners in history

Click the Calendar icon to view the Leaderboard results for all classes including your own from last week and previous weeks.

Leaderboard time periods

The Leaderboards are re-calculated each week at midnight Australian Eastern Standard Time (Sydney). Each answer is recorded in real time and feeds into this calculation.

See the results for your school only

When logged in students can view the results for all active classes at their school including their own. This makes it easy for you to have in-school competitions.

If Leaderboards are not for your school

Some schools may prefer that classes from their school are not displayed on the Leaderboard. If this is the case, the school administrator can simply uncheck the “Participate in competition” option on the My School screen of the School Administration menu. Please note we cannot remove results retrospectively.

The Spelling Force Spelling Bee Module

The Spelling Bee module enables interactive, secure spelling bees with administrative control over word lists, timing, and participants. Scalable from classroom to national/international events, it fosters proficiency and competition in a private environment.

1. Flexible Setup and Scheduling

Spelling Force » Spelling Force

The module provides granular control over when and how your spelling bee runs:

  • Custom Run Times: Set specific start and end dates and times. You can schedule bees for future dates or use the “Start Now” feature to override a scheduled start for immediate classroom use.
  • Duration Limits: Administrators can set a specific timeframe for students to complete their attempt once they begin, adding a layer of challenge and ensuring consistency across the cohort.

2. Advanced Word List Management

Spelling Force » Spelling Force

You have total control over the word lists used in each competition:

  • Simple Importing: Upload your own word lists via plain text (.txt) or dedicated Spelling Force List (.sfl) formats.
  • Flexible Delivery:
    • Ordered Mode: Words are presented in the exact sequence of your uploaded file.
    • Randomised Mode: The system can select a specific Word Count (minimum of 10) from a larger pool of words to present to each student.
    • Knockout Mode: You can choose to enable “Knockout” rules, where a single mistake ends the student’s attempt, or disable it to allow students to work through the entire list for practice and confidence building.

3. Student Experience and Resilience

Spelling Force » Spelling Force

The interface is designed to be intuitive for students while maintaining the rigor of a competition:

  • Progress Tracking: Students can see their progress through the word list and their remaining time via clear on-screen progress bars.
  • Time taken recording: The time taken for a student to complete a spelling bee is recorded, allowing a mechanism for awarding rank based on time where students are tied on the same result.
  • Disconnection Protection: Should a student accidentally close their browser or lose their internet connection, the system allows them to pick up where they left off provided their time has not expired.
  • Rules & Onboarding: Before the timer starts, students are presented with the specific rules of the spelling bee, ensuring they understand the stakes before they begin.

4. Results, Analytics, and Certification

Spelling Force » Spelling Force

Once the spelling bee concludes, the module provides comprehensive data for educators and rewards for students:

  • Teacher Analytics: Accessible via the “Tools & Reports”
    • Teachers can view the ranking of each student and detailed word-by-word statistics to identify which words challenged the cohort most.
  • Student Feedback: Students can view their own score and rank directly from their home screen.
  • Automated Rewards: To celebrate success, the system generates a downloadable PDF award/certificate for participants, which can be printed and presented in assembly or sent home to parents.

5. Privacy, Data Security

Student data privacy is assured through the use of a RAB (Role Based Access) system that:

  • Limits access to Student data across a school to the designated Administrator.
  • Only allows holders of Teacher level access to work with Students in their own class.
  • With interschool competitions, permission for students to participate can only be granted by the Administrator of that school.

6. Inbuilt Integrity Safeguards and Proctoring

The Spelling Bee module incorporates robust proctoring features and technical safeguards designed to maintain the integrity of competition and minimise the opportunity for students to utilise external aids or dictionaries. Time is used as a critical metric to discourage the use of physical dictionaries or secondary devices.

  • Autocorrect Disablement: Spelling Force actively disables autocorrect functionality. This ensures that only the student’s manual input is accepted, preventing browser-based or operating-system-level tools from suggesting the correct spelling.
  • Direct Input Validation: Because the system requires active typing without assistive prompts, the student’s mastery of the word is the sole factor in their success.
  • Precision Latency Recording: The system records the exact time taken to answer each word. In the event of a tie where students have an equal number of correct answers, the system uses this data to rank them. This penalises the “delay” typically associated with looking up a word externally.
  • Fixed Session Durations: Teachers can set a strict Duration for the spelling bee. By limiting the total time available, students are forced to rely on immediate recall rather than taking the time to consult external aids.
  • Live Start Controls: If implemented the Start Now feature ensures that all students begin the challenge simultaneously under supervision, preventing early access to the word list, collaboration, or sharing of the word list.
  • Randomisation Option: Randomly chooses a small set of words from a larger “Word Pool”. Each student is presented with a unique selection of words preventing them from sharing answers or word sequences with peers.
  • Knockout Mode: When enabled, the “Knockout” setting provides an immediate exit upon the first error. This high-stakes environment discourages the “trial and error” approach and reinforces the need for genuine accuracy.
  • Resilience Tracking: While the system allows for reconnection if a student is disconnected, the countdown timer continues to run. This ensures that “disconnecting” cannot be used as a tactic to gain extra time to research a difficult word.

7. Analytical Oversight

Spelling Force » Spelling Force

The “View Results” suite provides teachers with detailed statistics including: rank of student result, percentage of students spelling each word correctly and the ability to review results student by student.

8. Multiple schools or sites

We are currently developing a capability for the host of a spelling bee to issue Spelling Force Spelling Bee invitations or challenges to other schools using Spelling Force. The solution will feature:

  • The ability to scale spelling bees to large numbers of students in multiple locations
  • Rigorous privacy and security controls.
  • RAB (Role Based Access) controls to ensure that only duly authorised persons may access participating Student’s details and results.

9. Printable achievement certificates

Spelling Force » Spelling Force

At the completion of each Spelling Bee students can download a printable pdf certificate of participation.

10. Scaleable Multi-level Spelling Bees

The Spelling Force Spelling Bee module is designed to manage multi-level competitions of any scale, evolving from classroom challenges to national/international championships facilitated by its robust features and the forthcoming inter-school invitation system.

  • Starting with classroom-level spelling bees top performers can then progress to school-wide spelling bees, using consolidated or advanced word lists and then on to local, regional or even national/international championships.
  • Reducing Student numbers for each round are managed either through one school or multiple schools using the inter school challenge capability.
  • With the use of multiple schools there is no limit to the number of students that can participate.
  • This tiered methodology, from local to national/international, leverages the inbuilt proctoring features to create a comprehensive, secure, and scalable spelling competition framework.
  • Operators of large scale spelling bees may choose to add additional layers of proctoring/invigilation through the use of video based online tools including Zoom and YouTube.

11. Works on mobile devices too

Spelling Force » Spelling Force

Spelling Force Spelling Bee will work on iPhones and Android and Windows phones as well as working on PCs, Macs, iPads, Android and Windows tablets. The popup keyboard allows for data entry.

Challenge safeguards

No personal data exposed

Only results for classes are shown. No individual results are visible.

Difficult to game the system

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.
