Online Audio Spelling Quiz

(Eugene Volokh)

A few months ago, I asked if anyone could recommend a site that can provide an audio spelling quiz for kids. One of the commenters recommended SpellingCity.com, and we tried it with great success. You (using your parent or teacher account) can set up spelling lists for your kids — there are many you can download from other sites — and then it will pronounce them for the children (who are using their child accounts). The children then type what they think is the right spelling; they get feedback; and you get to see the results on your parent account. There's a modestly priced pay version, which is the one we're using, but also a free version, which seems to have the necessary features as well. So it seems like a very nice teaching tool, and I thought I'd pass along my recommendation.
