Spelling Games is a fun and engaging way to assist your child with their spelling. With a total of 10 different games, there is little chance of anyone getting bored, and with the ability to create and save your own word lists, the whole package can be tailored to your child's individual needs.
Designed primarily for young children, with to its colour schemes and graphics, this package can also be helpful to slightly older children because if the ability to create your own word lists and make the words harder. It can even be used to learn a foreign language by incorporating foreign words.
The games vary in difficulty, and all offer something different, each one concentrating on a different learning method. Some involve simple spelling, others involve unscrambling letters to create words, and others are more along the lines of arcade games or crosswords.
Whichever game you play, the onus is on you to enter the right level of words into the games - make them too easy and they become boring, make them too hard and they become frustrating.
