| Terrific website that helps children improve their spelling skills for free |
The website description explains that the site:
-Contains over 25,000 words, including plurals, contractions, future and past tenses.
-Uses a REAL human voice that says both the word and the word in a sentence.
-Has a "Teach Me" function that spells out the word using both visual and auditory input to improve retention.
-Allows teachers and parents to enter and save their own spelling lists for their students/children.
-Students can play games with their spelling words that are automatically generated by a program at the website.
When you get to the site you will see some featured items and a welcome message on the right side of your screen. There you will see a link to the site's FAQs that I found helpful in understanding how the site works, and the many features it offers.
If you want to get started right away - just enter your spelling words in the form on the left side of your screen and click on the "Test Me,""Teach Me," or "Play A Game" button to begin.
As a tool to help kids practice spelling, this site is well conceived. It's user friendly, but I did encounter a bug. The site offers "Sample Lists" of spelling words for grade K-8, as well as Dolch words, etc. However, when you click on the "Sample Lists" button on the menu - it works sporadically. Sometimes the page opens right up - and other times there's an error message. Don't let it deter you from using other features at the site. |
