Ask your child what they had for lunch today
Watch their eyes go up and to the side. They aren't reciting the word sandwich - they're looking at a picture of it in their mind's eye. Every child does this. Spell Simple turns that same ability toward spelling: your child sees the word, holds the picture, then spells it from memory.
Why kids and parents like it

- No ads, ever.
