Vocabulary practice for the Elementary SSAT
Learn the words that matter, 15 minutes a day.
Starflight works out which words your child already knows, teaches the ones they don't, and brings each word back right before it would be forgotten.
How it works
Skip what they already know
A quick screening pass sorts the course, so practice time goes to the words your child actually needs.
Practice a little every day
Each session is sized to about 15 minutes: choose the meaning, match the definition, then type the word from memory once it starts to stick.
Review at the right moment
Every answer is saved. Words come back after a day, then a few days, then weeks — and sooner when they were missed.
Built for how kids learn words
Hear every word
Tap the speaker for the word, its meaning, or an example sentence. After a miss, the correction is read aloud before moving on.
Real sentences, not just definitions
Each word comes with kid-friendly example sentences, plus word-part notes where they help a word make sense.
Honest progress
See which words are learning, reviewing, already known, or mastered — and how many minutes were practiced each day this week.
Shape words, taught with pictures
Quadrilateral, perpendicular, isosceles: 33 geometry terms taught with figures a child can see.
Who it's for
Getting ready for the Elementary SSAT
Students in grades 3 and 4 heading into the verbal section, with a few months — not years — to build a much bigger vocabulary.
Busy families who want a daily habit
No flashcards to make and no word lists to pick from. Open it, press start, and the app decides what is due today.
Strong listeners, still-growing readers
Kids who know lots of words by ear but stumble over them in print. Every word, meaning, and example can be read aloud.
Curious readers beyond the test
Upper-elementary readers who want the words that keep showing up in chapter books, class reading, and school tests.
For grown-ups
- A parent or guardian signs in with their own Google account — please don't have your child use their own. Each account keeps its own history and sees only its own progress.
- Starflight keeps the account's Google address and learning history — no names, no photos, no ads. You can download it any time or ask us to delete it.
- Which word comes next is decided by fixed, tested rules, not guesswork.
