How it works for a teacher
- Create a free account. Sign up with an email address. Nothing about your students is collected.
- Add the week's list. Paste the words one per line, or take a photo of the printed sheet. The photo is read in your own browser and is never uploaded — you review and tidy the detected words before saving.
- Share a class code or link. Turn the test into a six-character class code and hand it out, or paste the join link into your class page or newsletter.
- Students practise at home. They open the join page, enter the code, listen to each word and type the spelling. Words they get wrong come back around. No student account or login is needed.
- Practice stays anonymous. Sessions are not tied to a name or login. Being honest: there is no teacher dashboard yet, so you will not see who practised or their scores. Each student sees their own result at the end of their run.
The word photo never leaves the browser
When you photograph a spelling sheet, the text is recognised on your own device using the browser. The image is not sent to Schoogaroo or any other server for processing. Only the words you keep after reviewing them are saved — not the picture.
What it costs
A free account lets you create one spelling test every seven days — enough to set the current week's list. Premium removes the limit so you can build a test whenever you like. Playing, sharing and results are always open, so students can practise as often as they need.
Premium unlocks unlimited tests; check the current price in the app before you rely on it.
Print this for the class
Once you have a class code, hand this card home with each student. It has everything a parent needs and nothing student-identifying. Print it with your browser (Control+P on Windows, Command+P on Mac) — only the card below will print.
Home spelling practice
Your child can practise this week's spelling words at home. It takes a few minutes and needs no account.
- Go to schoogaroo.com/playbook/spelling/join
- Enter the class code:
- Your child listens to each word and types the spelling.
- Any words they get wrong come back around to practise again.
- No account or login is needed. It works on a phone, tablet or computer using Chrome, Edge or Safari.

Frequently asked questions
Do you collect any student data?
No. Students join with a class code, not an account, and practice sessions are not tied to a name or login. There is no teacher dashboard yet, so you will not see who practised or their scores — each student only sees their own result at the end of their run.
How much does it cost?
A free account can create one spelling test every seven days, which covers the current week's list. Premium removes that limit. Playing, sharing and viewing results are always free. Check the current Premium price in the app before relying on it.
What devices and browsers does it work on?
Any phone, tablet or computer. The listen-and-spell audio uses the browser's built-in speech (the Web Speech API), which works in Chrome, Edge and Safari. If a browser does not support speech, students will see a note suggesting one of those.
How do class codes work?
After you create a test, you can turn on sharing to get a six-character class code and a join link. Students go to the join page and enter the code, or open the link directly. You can turn sharing off again at any time, which stops new students from joining with that code.
Can parents use it too?
Yes. A parent can create their own free account and paste or photograph any word list — the child's homework, sight words, or words they keep missing — and run the same listen-and-spell practice at home.
Is the photographed word list uploaded anywhere?
No. When you photograph a sheet, the text is recognised on your own device in the browser. The image is never sent to a server; only the words you keep after reviewing them are saved.
