"VocabularySpellingCity is a place where I can go to target words that my son repeatedly says "I don't know that word"". It helps him to "get" those problem words and know how to spell them as well.
It was funny... one day I was looking at it, and going through my own lesson...and he came down and scolded me. "MOM...that's MY program. Let me do it now". What's a mom to do? I let him do it "now". :)
And check out the teaching resources. This is such a helpful site and I know I didn't manage to discover it all yet.
I struggled with (as did my son) the need to capitalize his spelling words. They would credit it as wrong if he didn't put the capital on it. Wasn't sure why that was.. perhaps it was my input method, or just a quirk in the problem.
Yes. It's worth getting this program to help your student(s) increase their ability to understand what they are reading. But don't just take my word for it. Go check out what some of the other Schoolhouse reviewers have to say. Go here OR click on the link below. :)
