Review: Spelling City

About a month ago I posted that we, Tru & I, would be reviewing SpellingCity.com.   So what is SpellingCity.com?  Basically it's an online spelling and vocabulary interactive tool for students and teachers, as well as parents and homeschooling families. I was given the opportunity to try out the premium package. Once I was set up  I could just put in Tru's spelling list for that week, then add assignments correlating the weeks spelling list.  I started him with a teaching assignment going over each word and it's spelling, then set him up to do a couple of their games, a practice test and a final test.  We used it with two sets of his spelling word lists last month.  Tru found most of the games fun and I think they were helpful. Every time we used it he enjoyed it and infact he completed his spelling without any complaining...always a plus!

 On the teacher/parent side of things it allows you to set up multiple students each with their own assignments as well as tracking their progress.  SpellingCity.com also offer multiple games with random lists using vocabulary with things like history and places, too.   All in all I was very pleased with everything SpellingCity.com had to offer.  As a homeschooling family I think it would be a great addition to any curriculum plan.  The premium package is 29.99 per year for a up to 5 students, but you can use their basic package for free.  I pulled this list from their site to show what you would have available to you with each package...

As you can see both options would be a helpful tool to any homeschooling family!  If you're interested check them out at SpellingCity.com and see all the great things they have to offer!

**I've been given a Premium Membership to VocabularySpellingCity.com for a candid, personal, online review.

VocabularySpellingCity helps students study word lists using 25 different learning activities such as Sentence Unscramble, Handwriting Practice, WordSearch, and FlashCards. Parents can create their own spelling lists, find published lists already available on the site, or use any of dozens of free teaching resources on topics such as Synonyms and Figurative Language. Be sure to come back in three weeks to read about my experience.

There might be more free memberships available for bloggers. If you're interested, find out how you can review VocabularySpellingCity.com.
