Our Homeschool Experience:

My daughter really enjoyed playing some of the games provided by VocabularySpellingCity. One of her favorites was "Hang Mouse." "Hang Mouse" is an on-line version of hangman. To play she would click on the letters one at a time and try to complete the word before the cat caught the mouse. This is one of the games offered for free. "Word-O-Rama" was another game she wanted to try out. "The object of "Word-O-Rama" is to identify words by their definitions, synonyms, antonyms, or by their context within a sentence." She also enjoyed completing the "MatchIt Definitions." In this vocabulary game, she had to match the word to its correct definition. "MatchIt Defitions" was also able to be printed.

Since we have been learning about the different parts of speech, I had her try the game "Parts of Speech." The object of the "Parts of Speech" game is to identify the part of speech of the given word as it is used in each sentence.This game provided a fun way for her to learn not only the different parts of speech, but the parts of a sentence as well. "Word Find" was a fun educational game that helped her learn her spelling words while searching for new ones. The game also provided an opportunity for her to make other words using the letters in each word on her spelling list. The more spelling words she found, the more points she earned.

The "Teacher Resources" page had many useful lessons, word list, educational articles, and how to videos. The "Premium Teacher Tool Box" had all of the links the teacher/parent would need to review the students' grades, manage the assignments, and many other useful information.

We loved VocabularySpellingCity and we would recommend it.



I have been given this product free of charge for review purposes.
