Izzie has begun a new spelling curriculum and I'm thrilled to incorporate VocabularySpellingCity!  It is the perfect way for her to review the spelling words.    

How Izzie (5 years old) is using VocabularySpellingCity...

She begins the lesson by using the "Teach Me" feature, which says the word, spells the word, then uses the word in a sentence. 

Afterward, she chooses one of the many Premium Activities that help reinforce the specific spelling words. 

Premium Activities

Sometimes, she sneaks in a few games!  Having fun, while learning...equals one happy little girl and one super happy mom! 

Then, she practices writing the spelling words.  With just a quick click of a button, I have printable handwriting sheets for the specific spelling words.  

Lastly, she takes the on-line "Spelling Test", which again says the word and uses it in a sentence.  She simply types the word in the space.  She's only 5 and does get easily frustrated with trying to find the letters on the keyboard.  So, she begins by typing the spelling words, but after a few words and when the frustration kicks in, she spells the words out loud to me and I type in the correct spelling word for her. 

I would recommend the Premium Membership from VocabularySpellingCity!  It's a great supplement with a ton of educational features to reinforce spelling in a fun way!  My favorite features include: 

• Differentiated instruction by creating personalized lists. 
• Games that are specific to each list. 
• Each student can work at his or her own pace. 
• The many printable options. 
• The ability to track progress.
