Visit SpellingJoy ELAWhat is SpellingJoy ELA?
SpellingJoy ELA is a voiced, interactive English Language Arts curriculum for ages 5-10. The child plays a ~20-minute daily lesson alone - the AI tutor reads aloud, the child builds words with tappable tiles, reads back (speech recognition), and writes with AI feedback. Phonics-first, standards-aware, a full 36-week year per grade. Parents review the week's work. It is an AI tutor, not a state-accredited program, and is not COPPA/FERPA certified - parental consent and supervision are the parent's responsibility.
What we like
- Free tier with no card - a lesson a day, kept forever
- A full 36-week guided ELA year per grade (K-5)
- Phonics-first and mapped to Common Core standards
- Fully voiced - a non-reader can run a lesson alone
- Read-with-me, build-the-word, read-aloud, and write-with-feedback
- Weekly parent review + printable portfolio wrap-ups
- ~20 minutes a day - open-and-go, no prep
Worth knowing
- Unlimited lessons and all courses need premium ($9.99/mo, $19.99 family, $79.99/yr)
- Web-only (no native mobile app yet)
- AI tutor, not a state-accredited program
