Spelling Software from SpellQuizzer
Sometimes adding something as simple as a new spelling software program can bring new life into an old topic. Let's face it, spelling lists week after week, year after year sure can get tedious. I came across this great spelling software from

that I think you'll like. We've been using it for awhile now and my two kids love it. They really do study their spelling words more often. To top it off, they really are doing better, too. The program is very simple to operate and use - for both parents and students. Once you get the program installed all you have to do is: Create a new list for your particular studentEnter a spelling wordIf you have a headset, you can record a sentence to go along with the word, otherwise you have to type in a clue so that they know what word they are being quizzed onRepeat this process for all of the words on your listSelect random testing if you would like the list to be randomized upon playbackSave the list and you're done!

Once your student logs into the program, all they have to do is:Adjust their headsetChoose the appropriate listType in the words that go along with the sentences they hear.The program keeps track of all the words they spell wrong and asks them if they would like to try them again at the end. I like the fact that you can randomly go back and retest them on word lists they might have had a month ago. It's interesting to see just how many words they actually remember how to spell! Overall, I really think this is a product worth investing in. You can use it with as many kids as you need to and you can create lists for the whole school year, thus making it a resource that you can keep using year after year. As an added bonus, you can

that are already pre-made. Some of them look pretty cool! If you're interested in trying out the program, they even offer a 30 day free trial. I'd recommend giving it a shot! While a spelling software program may not be absolutely crucial to your homeschool, it sure makes it more enticing for your kids to study!
