Kevin Jarrett provided me with the site, SpellingCity.com.
This is a neat site to help with spelling instruction/testing. The basic premise of the site is to plug in your spelling words and then you can be tested, taught, or play a game. The site has 25,000 words in its’ database to draw on and uses a real human voice when the word is used as well as when the word is put into context. Students, teachers, and/or parents can register to get your own personal experience, did I mention it was free! Teachers can put a link for students and parents to access their words. Teachers can also save their spelling lists and edit them at any time.
I tried it out with my daughter’s spelling list and found the games to be entertaining. I like the fact that you can redo the misspelled words and print a certificate of completion. I can even save and share lists. This could be a useful tool in the classroom to help parents work with their children on their spelling instead of repeating spelling outloud or through the repetition of writing.
