Description of Service

SpellingStars.com allows users to post and access word lists, practice and take spelling tests, play games, and create printables for their own use.

Account Use and Password Policies

Each account (teacher, student, or parent) is intended for a single individual only. Sharing login credentials with others is not permitted. This helps us keep accounts secure, maintain accurate records of progress, and comply with privacy laws. Teachers may not share one teacher account among multiple teachers, and student accounts may not be shared among multiple students.

Your password provides access to Membership Services. Please keep your password confidential. You are responsible for all activity under your login. If your password is compromised, notify SpellingStars.com immediately so we can issue a new one.
