REVIEW:
SpellingTime is a great solution for those parents, teachers and homeschoolers whose children need help with that dreaded Friday spelling test. Students can use the site independently to practice their words in a different format each day of the week and then take a quiz to show the teacher or parent which words need additional work. The program automatically records and emails the results of the quiz to the parents. Teachers, parents or students can enter their own spelling list (up to 20 words) each week and then Alexis and Jake (the animated guides) guide the students through the lessons each day. There is a pre-test and games such as hangman and word scrambles before the words are tested on Thursday. The program assumes that the school test will be on Friday. The weekend is reserved for review of all the words from previous lists. The words are clearly pronounced, used in a sentence and pronounced again then the student types in his/her answer. A clue is even available if the student needs it. By completing the quizzes, students can collect game coins to play fun, age appropriate games. |
