How to run a five-minute session
Put the week's spelling words on the wheel. Spin, read the word aloud, and ask the learner to spell it. If it is correct, remove the word; if not, leave it in for another turn.
Keep the session short and end on a success. Five focused minutes beats a long worksheet that everyone dreads.
Use word lists by level
Create a separate wheel for each group or level. Save time by preparing the lists before the lesson and sharing the link with a co-teacher.
For older learners, use vocabulary words and ask for a definition as well as the spelling. For younger learners, keep the words short and the pace gentle.
Pair practice
Two learners can take turns spinning and quizzing each other. The wheel decides the word, so neither learner controls the difficulty.
If a word is consistently missed, leave it on the wheel and add a second correct attempt as the success condition. The goal is retention, not speed.
Keep it low-pressure
Do not use the wheel to rank or shame learners. A wrong answer means the word stays in the pool and gets another turn later.
For classroom use, first names only and no student IDs. The word list itself contains no personal data.
Frequently asked questions
Can I add my own spelling words?
Yes. Replace the sample words with your list, one word per line.
How do I stop a word repeating in one session?
Enable Remove winner. The word leaves the wheel after it is spelled correctly and reappears when you reset the list.
Is this suitable for younger children?
Yes, with adult supervision and a short word list. The site is aimed at teachers and parents, not at children directly.
Can I share the word list with another teacher?
Yes. Use Copy link to send the exact list and settings.
