Super Spellers is an innovative spelling game designed for children aged 5–11, aimed at strengthening core spelling skills through fun, interactive play. Featuring comic-style characters and engaging score-building elements, it turns learning into an exciting adventure.
Developed in line with English Appendix 1 and backed by research on gamified learning, Super Spellers enhances phonemic awareness and supports gradual development of subvocalisation skills, fostering lasting spelling proficiency.
A 2020 UK Government study revealed that 22% of 10–11-year-olds fall below expected levels in spelling, grammar, and punctuation. In response, Super Spellers was created to boost engagement and equip young learners with the tools they need for lasting literacy success.
