Parents' Choice Fdn.,
2006 award feature

Simply the best Vocabulary and Spelling website on the internet!

B. Preston, OR


I wanted to let you know how absolutely thrilled I am with the program.

It is DRAMATICALLY assisting both of my children to EASILY learn how to spell words.

The best thing is that it requires little or no parental support beyond just making sure that they sit down and do their daily quiz for twenty minutes.

Periodically there is a squeal of joy when they conquer a word that has previously eluded them.

Amazingly a hated task is now one they actually seem to rather enjoy!

Mark Banister, UK


Easy and effective.

LearnThatWord has made it much easier to practice and also to learn the complex words given in spelling bees.

Studying really helps in spelling bees but LTW has changed the way I thought about studying and really learning.

I found LTW to be fun and extremely encouraging.

I use LTW to help me learn and practice. Their effective system has made it so I would call this website very helpful, creative, and useful for everything from homework help to learning English as a second language!

Even after the spelling bee is done I will still use LearnThatWord on a regular basis.

Anyone who has ever asked me about LearnThatWord knows that I love this website like a family. It makes me comfortable, ready, and excited for all the spelling bees to come.

Teacher's choice award

Comments by the parent-teacher jury:

A fun and creative approach to the typical ways children learn vocabulary and spelling words.

I would certainly recommend the purchase of this product to families with children of ALL ages. This is great for at home learning!

It was easy to use and a great product for motivating my son to spell correctly.

The product is interesting/motivating for children.

They can practice words whenever they have time with no assistance from parents or teachers.

It remembers words my son missed on the previous quiz and asks him to spell the word again.

I think it is interesting. My daughter enjoyed seeing what she could spell and having the competitive aspect.

I really motivated my son to want to do his best on the quizzes.

I urge everyone to check out this product as an alternative to tutors or hours of studying.

LearnThatWord hit Spelling Jackpot!!!

B. Boren


Spelling is no longer a chore – in fact, the kids sometimes do more words just for fun (I only ask them to do 15 a day).

I love having the ability to add words – I add their vocabulary words and selected science and history words to make sure that they can spell these correctly too.

LearnThatWord takes very little time and gets results!

After researching many web sites, I found your organization—eSpindle—to be the best choice for Destin. Your site is clean, clear, and easy to navigate, and the tutor component is stellar.

V. Bolling


Super idea… Keep it up!

Your (and your team’s) hard work is surely paying off in terms of a viable online training tool.

I didn’t know ‘billet-doux,’ but the program made sure I did. Great!

I am so happy that this system has motivated my son to do spelling.

The best part is he is learning but at the same time enjoying it thoroughly.

Dear Friends at LearnThat.org, I am a homeschooling mom and I just love LearnThatWord.

I find that students are getting more and more skillful at “dodging” their assignments, especially in higher grades. The site provides tutoring with more ease and diligence than I could ever provide. Plus, I won’t miss administering and testing spelling word lists!

Maybe you want to win the National Spelling Bee, or one of the many other local and international events.
Maybe you searched "" because you find spelling bees fun.

In any case, they are a good way to learn to spell and boost your skills.

Winning the takes focused study and smart tutoring. The big moment on stage needs careful preparation. 

Personal tutoring

LearnThatWord makes it easy to learn lots of words quickly, and provides powerful tutoring. Our quizzes simulate the spelling bee experience. Adaptive technology keeps track of words that need more review. 
Any words your unsure about are added to your personal practice list. LearnThatWord then provides enough review until you can  enter the word correctly every time. 

We offer both free and premium tutoring. New members get to try the premium features, to see if they suit your needs. 

Our spelling bee module

LearnThatWord's spelling bee module contains close to 30,000 typical words you may encounter at a spelling bee. It automatically includes the Consolidated Word list, previous Paideia lists, Spell It words, and words from recent National Spelling Bees.

Similar to what you experience as you go higher rounds, we sort words by frequency. You first study the most common, then the less common, and finally the really exotic words. In each category, words are tagged by difficulty, so you advance from easy to advanced automatically.

Any word that you didn't know or where you felt unsure, is added to your personal practice list. It is reviewed until you get it right over three subsequent quizzes. This may take three or many more reviews. LearnThatWord coaches you reliably until you can show that you learned them reliably. 

Search our word list archive

Are you preparing for a local event? Do you plan to stage a classroom event with your students or ? You can easily activate one of our many spelling bee word lists from the archive.
