Spelling City Review

We have been members of Spelling City for about 30 days now and we LOVE it.

At first I wasn't sure if it would be s good fit for us. But once I poked around the website I felt confident Jayden would enjoy it. And he sure does. In fact, he ASKS to play on it.

I love that you can input your own spelling lists. For Premium members, once you input your list, Spelling City generates definitions (sometimes more than one definition for a word, then you can choose which definition you prefer).

What Jayden loves best is the amount of games on Spelling City. There are TONS of them, including Word Search, Word Unscramble, and Crossword Puzzles. These have been his favorite games so far (although he hasn't gotten to try all of the games available).

What I love about this website (apart from how much fun Jayden has) is that it keeps track of test scores which means less work for me. With the spelling tests, words are read aloud to him, then used in a sentence, and read aloud again. Afterward he must type the word in correctly.

I love that this website is challenging him in ways that his regular spelling book can not. The games stimulate his mind and he loves having to work a little harder to figure out the answer.

I also love that there is an assignments tab in the teacher section where I can set up Jayden's daily assignments. Once he logs on he can check out what he has to do for the day. There are also a TON of resources available for teachers.

There is a free membership but the premium membership price is phenomenal as well! Less than $30 for a year long membership for up to 5 students!

We love this site and will definitely continue using it as part of our spelling curriculum!
