A great resource for spelling

I'm a homeschooling mom, and really enjoy using SpellingCity. My son likes the games and he learns well enough, so they must be working! I wish there was a better way to do hangman (or "hangmouse" as I think it's called). Maybe an option to define the word so the kid knows what they are shooting for? After all, the point of the game is to actually spell the word, not to kill the mouse, so I think that would work great. Also, I'd love more games that were like TNT, where they just have to spell the word, rather than pick out letters from falling water drops or squish running bugs. Those types of games are fun, but you spend a lot more time playing than spelling. TNT is the only game where you just have to spell the word and hit submit. My son hates the "Awwww" sound that happens when he makes a mistake (he thinks the pretend computer people are making fun of him), so he refuses to play it, and we're out of luck since it's the only one like that. Also, I'd love a way to export the words to word or excel so I can print them to put them on the wall, or for copywork. Am I missing that link? I can only make them into a PDF, and have no control over the font size, adding lines for copying, etc.

Personal Lists

I love that students can create their own lists, practice, and take spelling and vocabulary tests!

Spelling City Experience

I use Spelling City Premium to take Vocabulary tests as well as Spelling each Friday. The children love the practice tests and games to prepare them. The website grades the tests and I print them out. Once I entered all my personal words and lists, I knew I was good to go year after year until the curriculum changes.

Good resource

Spelling City is a good resource. However, there are some things that make it hard to navigate. For example, adding lists, assignments, or students to groups seems to have too many step. Maybe this could be consolidated.

good but hard to navigate

The kids love it, I love it for homework. Once you learn how to edit, etc. it makes life a lot easier.

As a homeschooling mom...

As a homeschooling mom, I've recommended this company to MANY others over the past three years. It makes spelling lessons fun for my daughter. There are also several games that we use for vocabulary review. Lately, when we are going to be away from home, I'm able to print worksheets to take along on the ride. There is also the app for her ipad. I wouldn't change a thing.
