The UK's first retention-focused spelling system—empowering pupils to truly master and remember spelling for the long term, not just for tests.
Students cram for Friday's spelling test, score well, then forget the words by the following week. They're learning for the test, not for life.
Teachers spend valuable time administering tests, marking papers, and trying to identify which students need extra support with which words.
Whole-class spelling lists mean some students are bored while others are overwhelmed. Individual needs get lost in the shuffle.
Traditional spelling instruction wasn't designed for retention—it was designed for convenience. We can do better.
Our system combines proven cognitive science techniques with intelligent automation to ensure lasting mastery.
Teachers assign weekly spelling lists to entire classes, setting start and due dates. This works alongside your existing curriculum and schemes.
Pupils log in and receive audio-based spelling questions. They hear the word, type the spelling, and receive instant feedback. Engaging and accessible for all learners.
Here's where the magic happens. Using spaced repetition algorithms, the system automatically schedules review sessions for each word based on individual performance. Words students struggle with appear more frequently; mastered words are reviewed at optimal intervals to cement long-term retention.
Each student receives a unique blend of new words and revision words. The system adapts to individual learning patterns, ensuring no student is held back or left behind.
View real-time analytics showing which students have mastered which words, who needs additional support, and how retention is progressing over time. All the insight, none of the marking.
Cadmus Spelling is built on decades of cognitive science research into how humans learn and remember.
Rather than cramming information, we review material at increasing intervals. This spacing effect dramatically improves long-term retention by strengthening memory consolidation.
Students actively retrieve spellings from memory rather than passively reading them. This retrieval practice is one of the most effective learning strategies identified by research.
Instant correction prevents the reinforcement of incorrect spellings and helps students identify and fix errors in real-time.
The system responds to individual performance, adjusting difficulty and review frequency to optimise each student's learning curve.
Secure login for teachers and students. Teachers manage classes, assign work, and monitor progress. Students access their personalised learning path from any device.
Organise students into classes, assign word lists to entire groups, and maintain individual tracking—all from one simple interface.
Assign spelling lists with start and due dates. Students automatically receive their work, and the system manages all revision scheduling in the background.
Students hear words spoken aloud, making practice accessible and engaging. No more reading spelling lists from paper—just listen and spell.
Immediate validation or correction keeps students engaged and prevents the reinforcement of mistakes.
See at a glance which students are progressing well and which need support. Track mastery over time, not just test scores.
Students don't just pass tests—they genuinely retain spellings weeks and months later.
No more manual test administration, marking, or revision planning. The system handles it automatically.
Every student gets a personalised learning experience without additional teacher workload.
Track true retention with data that shows long-term mastery, not just weekly test performance.
Complements any spelling scheme or word list. Use your existing materials with intelligent revision.
Web-based system works on any device. No installation, no IT headaches, minimal training required.
