In Key Stage 2 (Years 3 to 6), spelling moves on to the statutory word lists, prefixes and suffixes, and homophones — the words that turn up in the Year 6 SATs spelling paper. Regular, low-pressure practice keeps them confident.

How SpellBee helps with KS2 spelling
- Grown-ups set the words. Build your own KS2 word lists, or use the built-in curriculum lists for Years 3 to 6.
- Children practise safely. Kids sign in with a family code and a 4-digit PIN — no email, no password, and no ads, ever.
- Clear audio and instant feedback. Every word is read aloud in UK English, so tricky spellings are easier to learn.
- Progress you can see. Track mastery and celebrate achievements as spelling improves.
