Vocabulary Spelling City is an online program that introduces, teaches, reinforces and checks your child's vocabulary and spelling words that have been assigned by the teacher.
How does it work?
When students first try VSC they are are introduced to their spelling and vocabulary words by pressing the "teach me" button and a list will appear on the screen with their weekly words.
Students next press the word and are told the word along with a sentence using the word in context. Your child will then finish the list and can replay as many times as need be to become fully familiar with the words.
Later, your child will be ready to play "learning word" games. Each game selected will help your child to remember how to spell, define, use the words in a sentence and paragraph and if need be help your child practice handwriting each word. ( I like this for our 1st and 2nd grade kids!!)
By the time your child has exhausted all the learning possibilities it is time for a spelling and/or vocabulary test. Your child can be ready for their weekly spelling test in the classroom!
I introduced this program last year with my class and have been very pleased with the results. Students previewed their words a few days ahead of time. This year I will be using this to introduce required vocabulary in Social studies, science and Math.....
See for yourself what a good program this is !!!
