About this app

Want your child to become a better speller? PencilWise is an AI handwriting helper, spelling tutor, and homework practice tool for parents, teachers, and elementary school students.

It helps children notice words, say them, cover or hide them, type them, and check them again. This simple practice loop helps kids build spelling confidence one word at a time.
