SpellQuizzer
I was asked awhile ago to review a new product from the folks over at SpellQuizzer. It was prvodential to say the least, because what I had been doing before wasn’t very effecient. As a busy homeschooling Mom with three sweet peas at three levels, ANYTHING that makes my life a bit simpler is deeply appreciated. I have steadily been working our children through their phonics and doing spelling tests through dictation….focusing on the use of the phonics rules they have been learning, as well as those pesky sight words in the English language that do not conform to the standard phonics rules. The Bottom line is, there are some words you just have to memorize and this little computer software, is making my life so much easier.
SpellQuizzer is a spelling program that helps children learn their spelling words. I can create the lists straight from our curriculum and record my voice to aid them. The best part is, I only have to do it once for each level, and walk the kids through it as they progress. You can download pre-made spelling lists for SpellQuizzer from their web site and share them with co-op friends etc. They see computer time as a special privilege, so getting to do some school work on the computer is a great delight to them. Not to mention they are working on forming beginning typing skills. If you want a paperless way of getting those dang spelling words undercontrol, while you work with another child on another topic, you should check them out. I for one, am working it like a tool!
