Every spell is a word
Children hear a word and spell it to cast a spell. Harder words cast stronger spells.
Spelling games for 1st graders
Wordstone is a free fantasy adventure where every spell is a spelling word. First grade moves from short words to blends and digraphs (sh, ch, th), endings like -ck and -ng, plurals, and silent e, where a final e makes the vowel say its name.

Spelling patterns for 1st grade
How the game fits each child
The opening tutorial finds your child's level, so a 1st grade student who needs easier or harder words gets them. Younger players pick spellings or build words from letter tiles; stronger spellers type. Every word is read aloud, words they find hard come back for review, and a missed word still casts a weaker spell, with no timers by default.
Wordstone is for practice and fun, and we don't promise particular results. It runs in the browser on Chromebooks, iPads and laptops, with nothing to install.
