My son used SpellingCity successfully for 5 years. We loved it. It was wonderful. Now, it's been replaced by VocabularyA-Z, a convoluted, inscrutable mess that is totally useless. Have a problem? T... See more

It would be zero if possible. Have been using Spelling City for years. Since the switch I have had nothing but headaches. It has taken away teacher control over assessment. It is unwieldy, definit... See more

Since transferring over to A-Z Learning, it's like traversing the MOON. I am very disappointed and enormously frustrated! I spend far too much time trying to find quiz grades when needed, and I feel t... See more

The program (or at least the mobile app) is very laggy, sometimes it will freeze and then it wouldn't save. The audio is very low quality so it's sometimes hard to understand. Games make activities lo... See more

Spelling City Experience

I use Spelling City Premium to take Vocabulary tests as well as Spelling each Friday. The children love the practice tests and games to prepare them. The website grades the tests and I print them out. Once I entered all my personal words and lists, I knew I was good to go year after year until the curriculum changes.

Good resource

Spelling City is a good resource. However, there are some things that make it hard to navigate. For example, adding lists, assignments, or students to groups seems to have too many step. Maybe this could be consolidated.

good but hard to navigate

The kids love it, I love it for homework. Once you learn how to edit, etc. it makes life a lot easier.

As a homeschooling mom...

As a homeschooling mom, I've recommended this company to MANY others over the past three years. It makes spelling lessons fun for my daughter. There are also several games that we use for vocabulary review. Lately, when we are going to be away from home, I'm able to print worksheets to take along on the ride. There is also the app for her ipad. I wouldn't change a thing.

Great program

I have used Spelling City for 3 years and like the fact that I can personalize the spelling lists for 32 students.

Spelling City enhances my classroom!

First of all, my students love Spelling City. They love the game-show approach to learning and the other games. I love it because it gives them a fun format in which to practice spelling and vocabulary. I also love that I can enter the words once, then print out crossword puzzles, multiple choice or fill-in-the-blank tests, and flash cards! As long as I subscribe to Spelling City I can go back year-after-year and not have to retype those lists in. It is accessible from any on-line computer for the teacher OR the student. They can practice from home and you can enter lists away from the school. I highly recommend Spelling City to any educator who wants time-saving features at their fingertips.

Great app for kids learning!

I have been using this app for the last 3 - 4 years and I have been very pleased. It's very simple to setup tests and is a great, fun and interactive way for kids to learn all areas of Vocabulary. My kids actually enjoy learning this way, via a good variety of games (Premium Membership).

This application makes learning fun and I would definitely recommend.

Great tool

My kids enjoy the games. I enjoy the constant access to the words. My only problem is the program won't allow a stop mid-game. Students must start that particular game at the beginning.

Overall, Its the best way to have many students on different lists. Too hard to manage in the classroom.

I wish I could quickly look and see how many minutes each child worked on a spelling list for the week. We ask that our students spend 30 minutes on a list for the week, including activities and testing. The only way to do that is click on each child. It is very time consuming. That is what the 3 teachers at my school site that I work with would like to see.

Fourth Grade class review

I really like the ease of spelling city for both students and teachers. I would like to see more games developed as my students tend to get sick of them over the school year. I would also like to see more games available on mobile devices. I have paid for my entire classroom for the past three years and hoping to see some improvements or changes.
