Users can practise the lists of words with Doorway Speller  using the keyboard  an on-screen keyboard.

The lists of words to practise are, on average, about 10-12 words long. There are based an work done by Isabel Middleton, Learning Support teacher at Howdenburn Primary School. The words have been categorised into  five levels; A,  A-B, B, C and D, following the Scottish National Curriculum 5-14.
