This is the future of spelling.
Sir Linkalot’s award-winning app improves spelling for students of all ages
Learn More >
Sir Linkalot is an innovative, educational and fun app that is transforming how we learn to spell. Through developing memorable connections or ‘links’, users are able to learn words from ‘I’ all the way to ‘onomatopoeia’. These are brought to life through hundreds of entertaining, memorable animations >
Traditional spelling resources often use ‘Rote learning’ (essentially repetition) in order to learn words. This approach is time-consuming and ineffective for a large number of children, especially those with dyslexia and additional needs. Sir Linkalot’s app provides an innovative solution to this >
Alongside the 600+ animations, the Sir Linkalot app has multiple choice tests to challenge yourself, educational crosswords, and results screen to monitor your progress. As it’s a classroom resource, no parental input is required which takes the pressure off stressful last minute revision for tests! >

For Schools and Groups
For Personal Use
The app is divided into the five key elements of literacy: spelling, homophones, rules & patterns, punctuation & grammar, etymology, parts of speech and prefixes. These are categorised into ‘bundles’ with each based on a renowned literary figure. We’re always adding more bundles periodically to further expand your spelling knowledge.
Sir Linkalot’s partner-in-crime, Lady Lexicographer (aka Susie Dent from the smash hit TV quiz show ‘Countdown’), whose favourite book is the dictionary, will reveal the origin of certain words on the app that have an interesting story to tell>
