spelling drill

Word-writing exercise session

A spelling drill is a repetitive exercise designed to improve spelling accuracy, typically involving writing or reciting words multiple times until correct spelling becomes automatic.

Teachers use spelling drills to prepare students for tests: We ran through a spelling drill before the exam.

The term can apply to any systematic practice of spelling, whether in classrooms or self-study.
