"Some Frustratuons"
Overall, a great resource. Sometimes the records are not accurate. It will say a student has not taken a test when I have a score logged. Also, sometimes it is difficult to mark assignments completed or record that a student is exempt etc. from an assignment. It's a great, quiet, and fast way to manage a spelling program otherwise.

"Love spelling city!"
It saves so much time grading and being able to assign games for next week has improved their scores! I also love that I can differentiate my spelling!

"Fun way to help children learn their spelling and vocab words for school."
My children bring home speeling and vocab words every week. WE have been using Seplling City for 2 years. They are currently in 3rd and 4th grade. Every Monday they input the words and definitions in spelling city. (Spelling city has most definitions already in their system, but I like my kids to type in what the teacher gave to help them study). After they type the lists in, I use the Assignments that the program allows me to customize so I can assign the week's lessons and save the line up for conitnued use in the future. From Tuesday through Thursday they play a couple games after school on their ipad or desktop. They make 100% on their tests!! Thursdays they do the practice tests. If they get any wrong, I assign a recap lesson and retest. I am a full time working mother (60+ hours a week), and this is perfect for parents with a career to be involved in and assist in their child's studies. I left off one star only because I would like to see the program more open to allowing science and social studies questions with multiple choice. I do my best to work around it in the system, but if there is a question that is not a single word/phrase, the system will not work. I would like to be able to insert questions like "What are the characteristics of Eleanor Roosevelt?" , and have the Word-O-Rama allow me to put in answers (1 right 3 wrong). Then, this would be a 5 star. I would even be willing to pay more, if they made it an add-on.

"Good"
Good service but some issues with assignments not showing up on kid's computers, students can't take the test instead only the pretest, and some couldn't log-on using portable devises. I love it for easy of use and the kids seem to enjoy it too when it is working.

"SpellingCity is Awesome!!"
I teach students with special needs. SpellingCity is awesome because it will review with the kids as often as they need. I can make differentiated lessons and differentiated spelling lists. It has become as invaluable tool in my classroom to meet the needs of all my students.

"Great Flexible Program"
We have used Spelling City for over 3 years now. I am very happy with the flexibility of being able to add my own word lists and monitor my son's progress. My son enjoys the games/activities that have helped him learn to spell in a way that no other approach we had tried was successful. I would highly recommend this program.
