Your words.
Your sheets.
Paste the list, create it, then choose a worksheet or open the practice link.
Made for parents and teachers.
Use spelling words only—no names or personal details.
02 / A little practice
Your words. Ready to go.
Add a sentence for each word (optional)
Practice reads the word, your sentence, then the word again, just like a spelling test. Keep sentences short and leave out names and personal details.
Up to three spelling patterns, separated by commas. Leave blank to let the child or a grown-up write them.
Each sheet includes a QR link back to these words. Word search supports up to 20 words with 2–14 letters.
How it works
- 01
Add your words
Paste the list from school or type your own. Up to 40 words, one per line or separated by commas.
- 02
Add sentences (optional)
Write a short sentence for any word, especially homophones like there and their. The online test reads it between two readings of the word.
- 03
Print or practice
Choose “Spelling test” to print an answer sheet and the grown-up’s reading page, or open the practice link and choose “Readiness check.”
Giving a practice spelling test at home
- Read the word, a sentence that uses it, then the word again. That is how most classroom tests sound.
- Mix the order. If the words are always read in list order, a child can lean on the sequence instead of the spelling.
- Mark the answers together afterwards. Have your child correct each missed word by copying it once, then try those words again later in the week.
- Keep it short. A practice test is a check, not the practice itself; most of the learning happens when the child recalls words on different days.
Online test or paper test?
The online readiness check works on phones, tablets and Chromebooks. It reads each word with a voice that is already on the device and keeps the answers until the end, like a real test.
Paper is closer to what happens at school and needs no screen. The reading page gives the grown-up the number, word and sentence for each item.
Questions grown-ups ask
- Do I need an account?
- No. There are no accounts or sign-ups. The words stay in your browser, and a shared link carries the words inside it.
- Can a teacher use it for a whole class?
- Yes. Make the list once, print the test and the family handout, and share the practice link with families. Students do not sign in, and Listbee does not collect their results.
- What if the device has no voice?
- Some browsers do not include an English voice that runs on the device. Listbee will not switch to an online voice. A grown-up can open “Show the word” and read it aloud instead.
