Suggestions for spelling software for kids

[OkieDisney]

Do any of you have recommendations for software for spelling?

DD (8) is really struggling with spelling and some fun software might help!

Thanks

My kids used to use SpellingBlaster and Jumpstart Spelling.

There was another one called Word Games at Camelot but that was more of a vocabulary game.

I may be off a bit on the titles of these games. It's been awhile.

Best of luck to your daughter.

Is it for studying for her weekly tests?

My son loves this software. It uses Microsoft Agent technology and you can customize it to the weekly tests. He can input the list himself, select the background, and then choose which character quizzes him.

It has a 60 day free trial. It is a huge download - especially for me because we are on a dial-up modem. I think it took about 6 hours to fully download. But it was well worth it. 100's every week so far.

My kids love using Turbo Twist spelling from leapfrog. It's a handheld game but my kids take it with them in the car. I also like the Jumpstart spelling.

Hi there, OkieDisney! Haven't bumped into you for a while.

My kids haven't used spelling software for a while, but we used 2 different games. I'll ask the kids tomorrow what they were called. I liked them because we could put in our own spelling lists. A lot of the software (at least at the time) you had to go with their list instead of the list from school.
