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 writing. It tracks mastery and uses spaced repetition to choose future practice. Word lists draw from the Fry list and can add words the child misses. The app is described for children with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and other learning differences, and as a practice layer alongside All About Spelling, Barton, and Orton-Gillingham. Parents can manage multiple children from one account and create a shareable progress report for each. Daily practice is described as taking less than five minutes. The first five sessions are free without a card, with one-month trials on paid plans. Monthly costs 9.99 USD; annual costs 79.99 USD.
