Spelling "Success"

English is loaded with all sorts of rules that are supposed to help you figure out how to spell words properly.  Of course, for every rule, there are exceptions, and, some words just don't have any logical reason for being spelled the way they are.  This can be confusing for children (and even adults), sometimes you just have to memorize the way a word is spelled.  You can help take the sting out of learning with software that entertains and teaches at the same time from Learning Is Fun Store.

Many adults have played Bookworm, now there is a version specially designed with children in mind, Bookworm Adventures.  Lex the charming bookworm is their guide for spelling fun.  Children practice their spelling prowess in three different engaging games.  In Adventure mode, children spell to help Lex solve the great library mystery.  In the fast-paced Arena game, kids fend off ornery monsters by spelling words correctly.  Children can also visit the mini-game hut where they can spell words for as long as they like at their leisure.

Very versatile, Mrs. Flinkster's Spelling Accelerator Grades 1-5 will follow your child throughout grammar school.  The program includes six different spelling games, each done in a different learning style, to help your child retain what they learn.
