"First Online Multi-Player Spelling Bee is Launched"
|
From a teacher in North Dakota: "We really LOVE this area that allows our students a safe and fun way to make spelling more enjoyable, challenging, and exciting. Frequently spelling in the classroom becomes mundane and boring with the regular, predictable daily lessons and packet work. ... This is excellent as it gives them a variety of players from who knows where to match their skills against. I am hoping they are self-motivated to partake of it at home, as well. Thanks again."
From a teacher in Tennessee: "I am a classroom teacher (third grade), and I was looking for a spelling website to help my children with spelling and spelling bee preparation. Our school has mobile laptops, and we have been using your website in class. This is an awesome and very educational, interactive site. I am so glad that I found it! Not only do students get to practice spelling, but reading and listening are involved. I can't tell you how wonderful it is!!! I would love to have the exact same activity using math, English, science.....everything!! Thanks for creating this, and we would love to "pre-test/pilot" any new programs that you create."
From a sixth-grader in New Jersey "I liked that you can play with other people. Even people you didn't know."
From a fourth-grader in New York: "My goal is to see my name on television."
From a third-grader in New Mexico: "Fun, cool, surprising."
In Florida: "I liked it when my partner got a word wrong but then got the next word right since I did a better job choosing. ... I also liked how most of the sentences were part of a story so it was interesting to hear them. ... Anyway, I heard about this website in the GlobeWest section of the Boston Globe and I'm really glad I came."
From a home-schooling parent: "I have found your site very valuable. I am a homeschooling mother in search of ways to motivate my daughter to learn to spell. The competitive format has been working quite well to get her to try to "beat me" in spelling. Thank you for this enjoyable experience."
