I was contacted by Vocabulary
Spelling City and was offered a subscription to try their premium
membership to use with my students (and a premium membership to give away)!
Of course I said heck
ya! yes please!
To be honest, I've used the free version of spelling
city, liked it, but didn't think the premium membership would be much
different. Boy was I wrong!
If you've never been to Vocabulary
Spelling City you must go check it out! As the teacher you
can type in your spelling/vocabulary words online and then your students can
play fun and engaging games with their spelling words. How cool is that?
You can enter a whole years worth of word list (or more) and the spelling
words get saved! My students and their parents alike love to have this
resource to practice spelling and vocabulary words! The students can play
the games online or they can print out worksheets!!!!!!!! Hello? How much
better can this get? Can a premium membership really be better
than that? Um, yes! Look at this chart from Vocabulary Spelling
City to see the difference:
A premium membership is $49.99 and as a teacher I don't have money to blow but after trying it out for almost a month I can honestly say that I will renew my membership and never be without it! First of all Vocabulary Spelling City is very user friendly. It was easy for me to setup and easier for my students to use. With a premium membership I was able to give each student their own individual login and password. I can assign different spelling list to different students with just a click of the mouse ........differentiated instruction! I can assign certain activities to all the students or just certain groups of students. I can have them take their spelling/vocabulary test on the website and it will give me their test results. I can also track my student's progress! I can go on and on but you really need to go check it out and see it yourself.
Here's your chance to win a premium membership for you
to use with your students. A winner will be randomly chosen on February
24th and announced on February 25th. I am not asking you to go on a manhunt to win this but I would love for you to follow me by email so you never miss a post. You can do so on the top right on my blog. Alrighty, time enter.... just leave a comment with your name and email addy (to contact you if you are the winner). GOOD LUCK!
