App summary

This is the 'Future of Spelling' - Sir Linkalot’s award-winning app improves spelling for children of all ages and ability.

With hundreds of spelling animations and ‘links’ to help you learn them, the app is perfect for boosting school lessons, assisting home schooling and hitting UK national curriculum SPAG criteria (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar).

The app is suitable for students of 4+ years with words grouped into varying difficulty levels.

Challenge yourself with the app’s multiple-choice test and crossword challenges and keep track of your scores as you improve. Students using the Sir Linkalot app typically improve their spelling scores by 70%, with a 150% improvement for those who find learning tricky.

The app is divided into six key elements of literacy: spelling, homophones, rules & patterns, punctuation & grammar, prefixes and etymology (origin of words). A new addition is the Times Tables (2x2 to 12x12) with lots more Maths to come. These are categorised into bundles with each based on a renowned literary or Maths figure. We're always adding more bundles to further your knowledge.

Sir Linkalot’s partner-in-crime, Lady Lexicographer (aka TV’s Susie Dent), whose favourite book is the dictionary, will reveal the origin of certain words on the app that have an interesting story to tell including prefixes.

“Sir Linkalot is a fascinating and fun means of memorizing and visualizing words” – Skillswise, BBC

“It makes spelling fun. I see the animations when I write the words.”
– 10 year old child with ASD & ADHD

“Brilliant. I can now spell diarrhoea!'' – Sir Paul McCartney
