Enter the word you'd like to have in your custom spelling list. Select the Active checkbox and ensure the spelling is assigned to the correct year group. You also have the option to add a sentence.

Once you've created the spelling it will appear in the year group you've assigned it to. When the spelling is initially created there is a short delay while the Spell Wizards system fetches the spoken spelling, and if added a spoken sentence. This process usually takes 10-15mins, but we recommend your wait at least 1 hour to fetch and assign the spoken spellings.
