If you're looking for a one-stop shop to ensure that every student at every level of learning and learning style understands their vocabulary words and content-specific terminology, Spelling City is very close to what you need. The free service allows anyone to create and take spelling tests and play a few games to assist in learning the words and terms. Doesn't sound too special. However, Spelling city will even read the a vast majority of the terms and a relevant sentence aloud through headphones or speakers in a not-at-all-creepy, un-computerized voice for all of us auditory learners out there.
How does it work in the classroom?
Teachers or students can enter their vocabulary words for a project or unit into the site and have instant access to the spelling tests and the free games. I can't guarantee that they'll learn everything they'll need, but I will say that using this sites services will definitely help. There are oodles of extra features that you can get for registering for premium membership including student login access, extra games and activities, and access to student records and data. Whether or not that sounds like your cup of tea, the free services are are more than worth your time and students' time.
