Spell Me UK! is an educational website for the young generation. It is designed to merge together learning and entertainment in an on-line virtual playground. It emphasizes on delivering content that can be incorporated into the schools’ programmes and activities. This allows teachers to improve and maintain the interest on subjects generally perceived by the young pupils as tedious and boring.
