Rating: - Older program, but solid and fun practice for kids
My 3rd grade twin boys use this everyday to practice their spelling words each week. They enjoy playing the 3 games to get enough points to make it to the Spelling Bee. There are 5 levels that the kids can work on with all of their spelling words. The 5th level spelling bee is in front of the White House. The spelling bee opponents are funny-looking robots that the boys still laugh at when they see them.
You can create your own spelling lists and activate and inactivate each list for that level. Since it is an older game, the graphics are very simplistic and I have not found a way yet to delete older saved games, but overall it is a great game for practicing spelling.
Rating: - Good Way to Study Spelling Words
My dyslexic child's reading specialist recommended this to us. My daughter often uses it -- her own choice -- to study her week's spelling words. You can enter your own. The game also comes with spelling lists. The only reason I gave it 4 rather than 5 stars is that it is confusing to use at first. My daughter really had to work on figuring out how to enter her own spelling words. (I had given up!) It also seems to be a bit old. Works fine on our Mac. Might not work so well on a Windows machine.
