Spelling Practice Built for Learners with ADHD

Yes! Lit Spelling is built to help learners with ADHD succeed. Research shows that working memory challenges make spelling difficult for many students with ADHD. Our approach provides structured routines, immediate feedback, and visual progress tracking, all strategies that ADHD brains respond to well. The app provides the daily structure, so you don't have to.

Learners with ADHD often struggle in unstructured environments where they need to decide what to do next. Lit Spelling provides a consistent daily routine at the same time, with the same steps, in predictable sessions. This structure reduces the cognitive load of task initiation and builds automaticity through repetition. Parents report that built-in routines reduce homework battles because the app provides the support their child needs.

We designed Lit Spelling with engagement strategies that work for ADHD brains. Visual progress tracking lets learners see their wins add up in real time, building motivation through visible accomplishment. Streaks reward consistency (coming soon). Many of our lists can be completed in 10-15 minutes, but you control session duration. No stopwatch, no rush. Many parents tell us their children actually ask to spell because it feels more like a game than homework.

You control session duration. Many of our word lists are designed to be completable in 10-15 minutes, which works well for focused practice. There's no stopwatch or timer creating pressure. You'll work through words at your own pace with immediate feedback after each one. We believe in healthy screen time, so our lists are sized for efficient learning, but you decide when you're done.

One of the biggest benefits parents report is that their children can work independently with Lit Spelling. The app provides the structure, feedback, and accountability that learners with ADHD need, so you don't have to sit through every session. The built-in routine guides students through each step, and immediate feedback confirms correct answers or gently corrects mistakes. You can check progress tracking anytime to see how they're doing. This reduces your burden of being the 'second brain' while building your child's independence.

Visual progress tracking is built into Lit Spelling. You'll see charts showing words mastered over time, and streaks for consecutive practice days (coming soon). These visual cues provide the concrete evidence of progress that motivates ADHD learners, and they help parents see real improvement. The dashboard shows which words your child has mastered, which ones need more practice, and how consistently they're showing up each day.

We get it: forgetfulness is part of the challenges that come with ADHD. While we can't physically remind your child, we recommend setting up a consistent daily routine at the same time every day (like right after breakfast or before dinner). You can also set a phone alarm or calendar reminder as an external cue. Once the routine becomes automatic, many parents find their children remember on their own, especially when they're motivated by tracking their streaks (coming soon).

No, Lit Spelling is an educational tool for spelling practice, not medical treatment or therapy. We provide support specifically for spelling (like structured routines and immediate feedback), but we don't replace comprehensive coaching or ADHD therapy. Think of us as one tool in your toolkit. That said, many parents appreciate that Lit Spelling is significantly more affordable than coaching. If your child is working with a coach, Lit Spelling can complement their work by providing structured spelling practice with built-in support.
