Good spelling skills are important for success in school, and in many areas of life, yet many students struggle with spelling. This spelling computer software teaches spelling through daily drills given by your computer.
- Automatically tailors each drill to the unique needs of the individual student- spending more time on his or her weak areas.
- Reinforces quick recall by setting speed expectations based on each student's own past performance.
- Teaches vocabulary - each word is given in context in a meaningful sentence.

My favorite aspect of this program is that it requires a word to be spelled correctly, within the time limit, 3 sessions in a row. If a word is misspelled twice, a box pops up with the correct spelling, then goes away before the student is allowed to try again.

My kids have been doing both Dr. Aardsma's spelling and math drills daily for quite some time. They're great. No frills, basic quick which frees me up to do other schoolwork. I have seen a significant increase in their spelling and math facts.
